This is the

this is CBS. I am the world. I'm John Bachelor. Behind the Black Bob Zimmerman is here and we're attending to the ISS where docked right now is a commercial

spacecraft called Starliner and therein lies the tale. Bob a very good evening to you. Starliner is parked indefinitely. That is no

return date on ISS. The last time we talked about details having to do with the spacecraft itself.

Has there been any significant advance in the engineering thinking about coming back? No, actually not.

But what happened last week, they delayed it twice a few days each time.

And then at the very end of the week, announced they're delaying it into July indefinitely.

No date set at the moment.

The return, this is the return of the capsule with two astronauts on board.

There are issues on the capsule that occurred during launch and docking having

to do with thrusters. That was the biggest, that's the biggest issue. So thrusters failed.

They've done some hot fire tests to see if they can get

over that problem is controllable. But the delays, they said, this most recent decision to delay until July with no

specific date that NASA claimed it was in order to avoid any conflicts with several spacewalks that were planned by American astronauts

on ISS to do various repair work on the outside of the station.

That's what the reason they gave, but they also have indicated that

they want to have more time in space to this capsule for demo purposes to find out

how it fares when it's in space longer. These are the

reasons NASA is giving. It is possible that they want to review additionally

the thrusts, the data from the static fire test they've done of those

thrusters and there's some concerns there's possibility to see she

they're not telling us I'm I'm tending to think no if they want to extend the life on ISS as long as they can to get more data
