Fireworks, Americas, after spending a little less than a week at the International Space Station, ISS, Boeing's new passenger spacecraft, the CST-100 Starliner, returned to Earth Wednesday afternoon, landing intact with the help of parachutes and airbags in the New Mexico desert. The safe return is a significant accomplishment for Boeing after the company spent years working on the program, which has been riddled with failures and delays. Boeing's Starliner capsule, shaped like a gun drop, was built in partnership with NASA to launch the agency's astronauts to and from the ISS. Subscribe to Sputnik News
