Boeing's Starliner is back without the astronauts it flew to the ISS

Boeing's Starliner capsule has undocked from the ISS at 6:04PM Eastern time on September 6 and has safely landed at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico at 12:01AM on September 7.

Steve Stich, the manager for Commercial Crew Program at NASA Kennedy, also added that while all of them were happy with the landing, a part of them still wishes it would've gone the way they'd planned, with the astronauts coming home aboard the Calypso. They said they learned a lot from the mission, which apparently achieved 85 to 90 percent of its objectives, and stressed that it's important to remember that things don't always go as planned when it comes to test flights. NASA previously said that the issues cropped up because the propulsion equipment got hotter that expected while flying, causing container seals to loosen and to leak helium.
