Boeing's Starliner had trouble docking with the International Space Station (ISS) this week. The spacecraft, carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, faced delays due to helium leaks and malfunctioning thrusters. The initial docking attempt failed, forcing the Starliner to stay 850 feet from the ISS. NASA analyzed the data and prepared for a second attempt. Despite the issues, Boeing assured that the helium leak wasn't a safety risk. After further tests, the Starliner successfully docked with the ISS, ending its series of problems.
