With stuck Boeing Starliner astronauts waiting, SpaceX Crew-10 arrives to KSC

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER — The return to Earth of Boeing’s Starliner astronauts stuck on the International Space Station inched closer as their replacements arrived to Florida for their relief flight next week.

The quartet assigned to the SpaceX Crew-10 mission arrived to KSC having flown into the former space shuttle landing facility Thursday afternoon. They are slated to climb aboard the Crew Dragon Endurance and launch from KSC’s Launch Pad 39-A atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 as early as 7:48 p.m. Wednesday.

And with 7.6 million open jobs right now, you can explore new ways to work even if you had previously thought you were done working for good. read more
