The astronauts, including Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, were confident that the Starliner would be able to bring them back to Earth safely despite the unexpected delay in their return.

They mentioned that they were still hopeful even though their return was delayed, showcasing a positive outlook on the circumstances. The astronauts reiterated their trust in the spacecraft and the team working to resolve the issues faced during the mission.

The delay raised concerns about the impact on the crew's well-being and the resources available on the ISS. However, the astronauts stayed positive, emphasizing their unwavering confidence in the Starliner's capabilities to safely return them to Earth.

While the exact date of the return to Earth remained uncertain, NASA maintained its expectations for Boeing's Starliner to successfully complete the mission and bring the astronauts back home.
