The Boeing Starliner crew, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, are to return to Earth on a SpaceX Crew Dragon vehicle in February, NASA officials announced Saturday.
The Starliner spacecraft itself will be unmanned when it returns in early September.
NASA announced the decision at Johnson Space Center following a test flight readiness review meeting. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said the decision was due to a "commitment to safety."

Good. That will probably save their lives not having to ride in the Starliner Max 8.

I’m certain Musk would cheerfully modify existing non-committed Dragon seats to accept Starliner suits.
There is no way he could get better publicity!
Well, maybe one. He could fly the Dragon to the rescue personally!
Call sign “Cavalry 2” (the rescue)...

It would be easier to just take 2 SpaceX suits up with them.

They had to go hat in hand to Elon Musk. I love it!
Well, I’m sorry the astronauts are bearing the brunt of this, but Boeing had it coming, and it’s nice to see the US government having to beg Musk for help.
