Boeing Starliner astronauts speak publicly for first time in 2 months today: Watch it live

The Boeing Starliner's first astronaut crew will speak from space for the first time in two months today (Sept. 13), a week after their spacecraft departed for Earth without them.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the International Space Station aboard Starliner on June 6 after a turbulent docking; five of the capsule's 28 reaction control system thrusters misbehaved as it pursued the ISS downward. After months of troubleshooting, NASA said the risk was too great to send Wilmore and Williams home aboard Starliner as planned; the spacecraft returned safely and autonomously to Earth on Sept. 6.
