They were supposed to be back weeks ago. The two astronauts who took a Boeing space capsule to the International Space Station are confident they can safely return to Earth. Butch Wilmore and Sonny Williams were supposed to return on the Boeing Starliner June 14th. And Wilmore points out they had some failures. "I lost an RCS jet and then we lost another one. And then you could tell the thrust, the control, the capability was degraded." The two are the first people to ride on the Starliner. Williams is confident once thruster testing is done on Earth, they can go. "I have a real good feeling in my heart that this spacecraft will bring us home. No problem." Both say they're not complaining about the extra time in orbit and are helping the station crew. "The answer you've heard failure is not an option. That's why we are staying here now."
