NASA is wrestling over how and when to bring two astronauts back from the International Space Station, after repeatedly delaying their return aboard Boeing's troubled capsule.
Do they take a chance and send them home soon in Boeing's Starliner? Or wait and bring them back next year with SpaceX?

What was meant to be a weeklong trip to the International Space Station (ISS) for the first NASA astronauts to fly with Boeing could extend to eight months, with the agency considering bringing them home on a SpaceX spaceship.
A final decision on whether to persist with Boeing's troubled Starliner - which experienced worrying propulsion issues as it flew up to the orbital platform in June -
