Boeing sent the Starliner shuttle, carrying two astronauts of the American Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), into space for the first time on June 5, after being postponed twice due to last-minute problems.
The shuttle’s return to Earth was postponed for the fourth time following problems, and NASA officials stated that they would evaluate the shuttle’s return date after two spacewalks planned to be held at the station on June 24 and July 2.
