Boeing's Starliner space capsule landed safely in New Mexico on Saturday after undocking from the International Space Station (ISS). The capsule returned without NASA test pilots Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who will remain on the ISS until February. Technical issues, including thruster failures and helium leaks, prevented the astronauts from returning in the capsule. Despite the challenges, the Starliner completed its six-hour return journey successfully, landing at White Sands Space Harbour.
