Boeing’s beleaguered Starliner capsule leaves space station and heads home without any astronauts

The Hindu  

After months of turmoil over its safety, Boeing’s new astronaut capsule departed the International Space Station on Friday without its crew and headed back to Earth. NASA’s two test pilots stayed behind at the space station — their home until next year — as the Starliner capsule undocked 260 miles over China, springs gently pushing it away from the orbiting laboratory. “She’s on her way home,” astronaut Suni Williams radioed after Starliner exited Ms. Williams and Butch Wilmore should have flown Starliner back to Earth in June, a week after launching in it. NASA’s commercial crew program manager Steve Stich said earlier this week that teams have been so focused on Starliner’s return that they’ve had no time to think about what’s next for Boeing.
