Their extended stay in space was caused by technical issues with their ship, the Boeing Starliner, during what was initially supposed to be a final test flight before the Starliner would be certified by NASA for regular use in missions.
After deeming it potentially unsafe to have Williams and Wilmore return aboard the Boeing spacecraft, the Starliner made its way back to Earth unmanned, where it landed safely in the New Mexico desert last week.
“We're both Navy. We've both been on deployments,” Williams said. “We’re not surprised when deployments get changed.”
The problem with the Boeing Starliner is the latest in a series of PR blows to the aerospace juggernaut, which in addition to spacecraft also produces commercial airplanes.
