**Summary:**

* * *

1. **Change in Plan**  
NASA has decided that SpaceX will return astronauts from the ISS in February, instead of Boeing’s Starliner. The Starliner capsule will return empty due to propulsion system issues, despite initially being planned for the crew’s return.

2. **Safety First**  
NASA’s decision follows safety concerns and technical disagreements with Boeing over the Starliner’s readiness. The capsule’s test flight encountered problems, prompting a shift in return plans to ensure crew safety.

3. **Future Prospects**  
NASA remains supportive of Boeing and is confident Starliner will be ready for crew missions in the future. The agency will conduct further reviews to address the issues and improve the spacecraft’s design.
