How to watch Starliner astronauts’ first press conference after returning home

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are set to hold their first press conference shortly after returning from a nine-month mission to the space station, which was initially planned to last only eight days.

Williams and Wilmore, seasoned astronauts, made history as the first humans to travel on Boeing’s new Starliner spacecraft to the International Space Station (ISS). However, technical issues arose during the journey in June last year, specifically with the spacecraft’s thrusters. Despite successfully docking at the ISS, safety concerns led engineers to bring the Starliner back empty, leaving the duo stranded on the ISS until a return flight could be arranged.
