NASA’s celebrity astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams say they would fly on Boeing’s Starliner capsule again. The two on Monday held their first news conference since returning to Earth two weeks ago. SpaceX ferried them home after more than nine months at the International Space Station, filling in for Boeing that came back without them after thrusters failed on the trip there. Both astronauts say they would strap into Starliner again. Wilmore says Boeing, NASA and even himself are responsible for what happened. NASA wants two competing U.S. companies providing taxi service to and from the space station.
