Boeing's new passenger spacecraft, the CST-100 Starliner, returned to Earth safely on Thursday, after a crucial six-day test flight which tested the end-to-end capabilities of the crew-capable spacecraft. The uncrewed Orbital Flight Test-2 (OFT-2) to the ISS, which showcased the vehicle's ability to launch to space, dock with the station, and then return home safely - proves the system is ready to fly astronauts, NASA said in a statement.
