“NASA has decided that Butch and Suni will return with a crew next February and the “Starliner” will return without a crew,” announced the administrator of the North American space agency, Bill Nelson, at a press conference in Houston .

The return of the two astronauts to Earth will take place on board the SpaceX ship, owned by multi-millionaire Elon Musk.
