The Boeing Starliner spacecraft launched its historic first crewed test flight in June and has made it “safely back to the desert floor,” according to NASA’s webcast hosts. CNN’s Kristin Fisher reports.

‘Touchdown’: See the moment Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft lands

The nine-day-turned-to-three-month test mission of Boeing’s troublesome Starliner module is finally over. Last night, the empty capsule landed safely in White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams stayed onboard the International Space Station (ISS), though, after the agency decided the risk of...

Boeing's Starliner has finally landed. Not flawlessly, but it got the job done

The Boeing Starliner spacecraft is flying home empty from the International Space Station after NASA deemed the capsule too risky to carry the crew back to Earth. Crew members Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are set to spend another five or six months on the orbiting laboratory

It took feats of engineering and deft piloting to map the planet’s topography, an achievement that continues to pay dividends decades later. In 2000, Commander Kevin Kregel led the Endeavour space shuttle mission, equipped with a 200-foot-long mast for the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) to create a detailed 3D map of Earth. Despite technical challenges like mast flexibility and frozen gas jets, innovative solutions like the fly-cast maneuver allowed the team to map over 80% of Earth’s landmass. Today, SRTM data continues to aid global environmental and economic studies.

 Watch Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft undock from the International Space Station and begin its return to Earth on Friday evening. The spacescraft is returning uncrewed, leaving behind the two NASA astronauts that it took to the space station three months ago. Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore’s stays were extended due to issues with the spacecraft. The Starliner undocked at 5:04pm local Houston time. It will land in New Mexico about six hours later. The trip back to earth is expected to be uneventful.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

(NewsNation) — Criminal defense attorney John Day says it seems vindictive for the New Mexico special prosecutor to once again file charges against Alec Baldwin in the “Rust” shooting case. The judge threw out the case in July “with prejudice,” meaning the charges could not be refiled. Day tells “Dan Abrams Live” the case has become […]

Leaving its crew behind in orbit, Boeing’s troubled Starliner spacecraft undocked from the International Space Station Friday and chalked up a successful unpiloted return to Earth, closing out a disappointing test flight with an on-target and apparently problem-free New Mexico touchdown. Despite NASA’s concerns about earlier thruster problems and...

New evidence supports the hypothesis that a fragmented comet triggered a dramatic climate change 12,800 years ago, with findings across the U.S. indicating the occurrence of powerful “touchdown” airbursts without forming craters. Researchers are further strengthening the case for the Younger Dryas Impact hypothesis, which suggests that a...
