SpaceX, the private aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, is set to bring astronauts back from the International Space Station (ISS) after technical problems with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft have made a return flight to Earth “too risky” for the stranded astronauts.
In a statement released by NASA, the space agency cited technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft as the reason for not being able to provide a safe return for the astronauts on board the ISS. As a result, SpaceX has been called upon to carry out the task of bringing the astronauts back to Earth.
SpaceX, known for its successful crewed missions to the ISS in recent years, has proven to be a reliable option for NASA in situations like this. The company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft has become a staple in transporting astronauts to and from the ISS, and now it will serve as the lifeline for the stranded astronauts awaiting their return journey.
With SpaceX at the helm, the astronauts can feel assured that they will be brought safely back to Earth, despite the setbacks faced by Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. The collaboration between NASA and private companies like SpaceX highlights the importance of having multiple options for space travel, ensuring the safety and success of missions to the ISS and beyond.
As the world eagerly anticipates the safe return of the astronauts from the ISS, SpaceX remains poised to showcase its capabilities in bringing astronauts back from space safely and efficiently. The successful execution of this mission will once again solidify SpaceX’s reputation as a trusted partner in the realm of space exploration.

I thought I had seen everything, but this video proved that the world can still surprise me👅
If its boeing, i would rather walk to space –
They went for a 8 day tour, and are stranded for 6 months.
Sounds like gilligans island.
Can't trust Boeing in our airspace or outerspace!!
Excellent news. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Thank you space X.
What an absolute disgrace Boeing 🙄 And you expect people to climb on your bean counter designed flying deathtraps called airliners? 😠😠😠
NASABoing is a woke joke…….
Pathetic… there is nothing else to say about this travesty.
The prevailing wisdom when Boeing was an Engineering Company was "If It Isn't Boeing, I Ain't Going" was transformed with the company when it became a Bean Counting Dominant company. Now the moniker is just the opposite. Yet, not a single high level resignation or act of conttiyion. That's the essence of our national decline.
This is exactly plot-line of "For All Mankind" series
Insane! 🤯
Boeing is a DISGRACE to the United States 👎
If this was a movie America would have been there in a week.
Are they part of the really high mile high club now?
