NASA is considering asking SpaceX to shuttle home the astronauts left stranded at the International Space Station after problems with Boeing's Starliner were discovered.
Plans on how to bring home two American astronauts stranded at the International Space Station are still up in the air, but NASA says it might call on SpaceX to shuttle them back to Earth – a move that would be another blow to embattled aerospace giant Boeing.
Boeing has fallen under increased scrutiny since a door flew off one of its aircraft mid-air during an Alaska Airlines flight in January. At least a dozen Boeing whistleblowers have come forward citing concerns over the company's quality assurance and culture since the Alaska Airlines incident, and the plane manufacturer is currently under investigation by multiple federal agencies.
