NASA astronauts talk about the difficulties of space missions and what's next with Boeing's Starliner.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams feel partly at fault for problems on their Boeing Starliner mission. They said they would gladly fly on it again. SpaceX helped them return home after a long stay at the International Space Station.

The astronauts were surprised by the amount of attention they received. They said they were just doing their job and putting the mission first. Wilmore took some blame for the issues during Boeing's test flight.

Both astronauts said they would fly on Starliner again to fix any issues. Wilmore stated that they would fix all encountered problems and make it work. Williams wants to see Starliner succeed because it has a lot of potential.

The astronauts will meet with Boeing leaders to discuss the flight and its problems. The goal is to make the future path clearer, not to blame anyone. They ended up spending 286 days in space due to mission delays.

Their time in space was extended because engineers debated how to proceed. NASA decided it was too dangerous to bring them back on Starliner and transferred them to SpaceX. NASA is still working to understand why Starliner's thrusters failed, and more tests are planned.
