And there's the main parachutes there on your screen. We see three out this morning, Boeing's troubled starliner spacecraft successfully returning home but without its crew touchdown, starliner is back on earth. The capsule landing in the New Mexico Desert overnight six hours after departing the International Space Station bringing an end to its disappointing test mission to the orbiting outpost. The Boeing spacecraft forced to leave its two astronauts behind. It would have been a safe successful landing with the crew on board. We have had Bush and Sonny on board. NASA sang early this morning. The starliner encountered some problems during re entry but landed on Target Boeing not attending the news conference instead releasing a statement saying in part, we will review the data and determine the next steps for the program. Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams should have flown starliner back to earth in June just eight days after instead. And after a series of setbacks including thruster in helium leagues. NASA and Boeing deciding it was too risky to bring the crew back the same way they flew them up. Now the astronauts will hitch a ride with Boeing's competitor spacex, its crew dragon lifting off in two weeks, extending their eight day trip to eight months. We have your back and you've got this, bring her back. Good luck.
