NPR  

Retired astronaut Scott Kelly on life in space and Starliner crew's delayed return SCOTT DETROW, HOST: The crew of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft is still on the International Space Station, and there is no word on when they'll be home. KELLY: You know, when I was there, we had some visitors, and my first long duration flight, a space shuttle crew arrived, and that's seven people. KELLY: You know, the space station is really big, and it's the size of, like, a four-bedroom house that has a lot of stuff inside. I know a lot of the people involved in the engineering, and they're all very dedicated to doing what's the right thing and what's the safest thing for the crew.
