Starliner crew speak on seeing ship depart without them - what's next for the Boeing capsule

The Boeing Starliner spacecraft returned to Earth from the International Space Station without its crew. The decision was made after more than two months of reviewing data connected to a handful of helium leaks and issues with five of the Reaction Control System (RCS) that occurred during the flight to the orbiting outpost.
Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, who launched to the station on June 8, 2024, spoke with the press days after their spacecraft departed without them. The duo are set to return to Earth on the SpaceX Crew Dragon Freedom in February. Hear their thoughts about the mission and what NASA leaders have to say about the path forward for the Starliner program.
