Elon Musk has criticized Boeing and suggested that the FAA should hold the company financially responsible for the mishaps involving its Starliner spacecraft. Musk's comments come after Boeing's Starliner, which was tasked with transporting NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, faced issues that led to their extended stay in space.

In a turn of events, SpaceX has initiated the Crew-9 mission countdown to bring Sunita Williams back to Earth. The mission also includes preparations for NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, highlighting SpaceX's involvement in resolving complications stemming from Boeing's shortcomings.

NASA had to resort to Plan B, enlisting SpaceX to complete duties originally assigned to Boeing's Starliner. This decision underscores SpaceX's reliability in the commercial crew spaceflight sector and Boeing's recent struggles with their spacecraft.
