The malfunctions experienced by the Starliner during the launch led to NASA choosing not to return the crew via Starliner, and instead the astronauts will be returned in February 2025 via SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. In fact they will be used

Last week, the spacecraft commander performed a manual flight test to test the Starliner's performance, and it performed well without part of the thrusters. At the same time, Boeing is conducting experiments on identical propellers, to try to locate the

We will try to briefly describe the role of helium in the Starliner's propulsion system, where are the risks when there is such a leak and why, in my opinion, Boeing's engineers approved the flight even though they knew before the launch
