    Boeing’s Starliner is getting another chance and NASA is not risking astronauts yet

    NASA is approaching Starliner-1 as an engineering test. Flight controllers will put the spacecraft’s propulsion system through a series of checks under controlled conditions. Engineers will also collect data on temperatures around the spacecraft. Another key focus will be how the thrusters perform during the flight.

    NASA lays out phased plan to return Starliner to service

    NASA and Boeing are preparing for the Starliner-1 uncrewed mission aimed at validating spacecraft improvements. This mission is scheduled for either December 2026 or January 2027 and will provide critical flight data. Officials expect to integrate lessons learned from this flight into future crewed missions. Following the uncrewed test, astronauts are projected to return on Starliner-2 by 2028.

    NASA astronauts receive 'No Overtime': How much did Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore earn for their 9 extra months in space?

    NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore spent 278 extra days on the International Space Station (ISS) due to a spacecraft malfunction. Despite their extended stay, they received no overtime pay, earning only a $5 per diem for incidentals, totaling $1,430 for 286 days. Their annual salary remains around $152,258, similar to other federal employees. While astronauts love their work, the financial compensation does not reflect the challenges they endure, raising questions about astronaut pay for future missions as space exploration advances.

    Astronauts age slower in space: How much time did Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore ‘gain’ in 9 months off-earth? The answer may surprise you

    Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore spent 10 months on the International Space Station and aged slower than those on Earth. This effect is explained by Einstein's theory of relativity. Their high-speed movement in space makes time pass slower for them compared to people on Earth. Over six months, the difference is just 0.005 seconds.

    Space laws that governed NASA's stranded astronauts: Did international treaties aid the rescue of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams?

    NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were stranded on the ISS for 286 days after their Starliner spacecraft was deemed unsafe. Rescued by SpaceX's Dragon, their ordeal emphasized the role of international space laws in ensuring astronaut safety, cooperation, and accountability. This mission highlights the complexity of space exploration beyond technology.
