The decision ensures astronaut safety as SpaceX Dragon will be used for their return.

NASA has decided to extend the mission of astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station (ISS) until February 2025, after technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner capsule made a safe return to Earth too risky.
