NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams said during a press conference on Wednesday they feel 'confident' Boeing's Starliner can bring them home.
Neither, this is not the first and it won’t be the last time a mission is extended. They adapt schedules to mission objectives all the time. Their mission is to study and assess the crew vehicle in order to certify it. They are studying and assessing the vehicle, specifically waiting for ground simulations to see if later they require further orbital tests or measurements, as is their mission. They will return once the mission is completed.
They’re “late”.
