    Starliner is a Boeing product.

    SpaceX isn't set to bring them back until March.

    It has brought astronauts back earlier.

    https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/spacestation/2024/10/26/nasas-spacex-crew-8-astronaut-returns-to-houston/

    As part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 mission, the astronaut was one of four
    crewmates who safely splashed down aboard their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft
    near Pensacola on Oct. 25. The crew members completed a 235-day mission,
    232 days of which were spent aboard the International Space Station
    conducting scientific research.

    Of course, Trump has to yammer ignorantly about the pending rescue:

    https://spacenews.com/trump-tells-musk-to-bring-back-stranded-iss-astronauts-spacex-already-planned-to-return/

    President Donald Trump says he has instructed SpaceX to return two NASA
    astronauts “virtually abandoned” on the International Space Station since
    last summer, even though the company is already scheduled to bring them
    back in about two months.

    "Instructed" LOL

    Another reason the comment caused confusion is that NASA already has plans
    to return Williams and Wilmore using SpaceX.

    The two astronauts, veterans of previous ISS missions, have also said they
    welcomed the opportunity to spend more time on the station.

    Musk and Trump are the occupants of a scrotal sac.

    SpaceX WILL soon return those stranded Boeing astronauts.
    The Dragon capsule is already at the station.

    As for "StarShip" - it is still a work in progress so do
    not expect perfection. Vibration issues are common in
    large rockets - some of the Apollo crews said they were
    convinced the whole thing was gonna shake apart. So,
    analysis and rectification will be needed and the next
    StarShip will do better. The Falcons used to blow up all
    the time, SpaceX was kind of a joke, but after the proper
    tweaks they not only became incredibly reliable but the
    booster-return/reuse innovation also became common.

    As for Boeing ... keep them out of the loop for maybe
    ten years until current management/policies/practices
    are long gone. Boeing is still involved in other NASA
    and military projects ... IMHO not the best idea. That
    corp went rotten.
