Original Note:
The political decision would have been to return Wilmore and Williams from space on Starliner. In Aug. 2024 NASA decided to leave them on ISS to return on a SpaceX Dragon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/08/22/boeing-starliner-nasa-astronauts-dragon-spacex/ https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-decides-to-bring-starliner-spacecraft-back-to-earth-without-crew/ Their return is currently delayed due to issues with the Crew-10 Dragon intended to relieve Crew-9. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/02/nasa-moves-up-target-to-return-butch-and-suni-but-not-for-political-reasons/
