The space agency failed to declare the spacecraft's thruster glitch as a mishap, creating confusion and uncertainty.
The capsule will fly a cargo mission to the ISS early next year, with no crew on board this time.
After nearly a year of trying to fix the ill-fated spacecraft, NASA says Starliner is set for a cargo mission in 2026.
NASA is considering another test flight of Boeing's Starliner vehicle, with or without a crew on board.
In a Truth Social post on Monday about the Starliner return mission, the president delivered a masterclass in misinformation.
The Starliner crew was originally meant to stay on board the ISS for a week, but issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft severely delayed their return to Earth.
The mission means the stranded Starliner astronauts can finally return home, but the plan was in motion long before Trump claimed to step in.
The president is trying to pull a political stunt by claiming to rescue the two astronauts, but the Starliner crew shut it down.
The president and his right-hand man baselessly accused Joe Biden of stranding Boeing astronauts on the ISS for political reasons.
NASA is reportedly reshuffling its ISS schedule to bring back the astronauts two weeks earlier than planned.
The crew launched to the ISS in June for a week-long mission but will end up spending an unplanned nine months in space.
The company is struggling to meet its end of a $4.3 billion contract with NASA.
The company is not giving up on its troubled spacecraft yet, but the cost of its failures keeps adding up.
NASA is once again turning to its more trusted commercial partner SpaceX for crew flights in 2025.
Ten years ago, NASA nearly chose a single spacecraft provider, a decision that would have left SpaceX out of the picture, and set the stage for a disastrously limited future.
Boeing Starliner astronauts' intended eight-day journey is now expected to last a total of eight months
Speculation is swirling that the two Starliner astronauts, currently stuck on the ISS, may have to return home on a SpaceX Dragon.
The vessel's crew, whose stay aboard the ISS has stretched over a month longer than planned, conducted tests on the commercial spacecraft's thrusters—and the initial data is encouraging.
NASA and its commercial partner insist the Starliner crew is not stranded in space, while openly expressing frustration with the media's negative coverage.
NASA and Boeing are now targeting June 26 to return the Crew Flight Test mission from the ISS, marking the third delay in departure.
