NASA's next International Space Station crew blasted off Friday, finally clearing the way for Starliner astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams to be ferried home next week by two other outgoing station crew members,

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the ISS aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft last June. The duo were flying the capsule's first crewed flight test, which was expected to stay in orbit for about 10 days before flying the pair back to Earth.
