In their first NASA press conference since their long-awaited splashdown on March 18, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams responded to the question of whether they would ride with Boeing again.
Williams, who co-led the test flight of the Boeing spacecraft agreed, saying “the spacecraft is really capable.”
After initial departure aboard the Starliner last June for an eight-day mission, Wilmore and Williams saw their stay on the International Space Station (ISS) extended as a result of malfunctions that were detected on the Boeing spacecraft.
“We are all responsible” for the problems encountered during the Starliner’s inaugural manned flight, Wilmore insisted, saying he prefers to look forward.
Without revisiting the political controversy, the astronauts reiterated Monday that they had been prepared for the unexpected delay in their return.
“I’m very thankful that people are paying attention,“ Williams said. “There’s some lessons learned to it, and part of that is just resilience and being able to take a turn that was unexpected and make the best of it.”
