Astronauts who were stuck in space say they'd fly on Boeing's spacecraft again

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, whose planned eight-day Starliner test flight turned into a nine-and-a-half-month stay stuck aboard the International Space Station, spoke out today at a news conference for the first time since returning to Earth almost two weeks ago.

They are still adapting to Earth's gravity after splashing down aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon ferry ship on March 18.

Williams denied feeling "abandoned" or "stuck" during an interview with CBS News in February, saying she was "honored ... to be here and a part of the team" doing "world-class science."

Despite their ordeal, both astronauts said Monday they'd fly on the Starliner again.

1. Two heroes.

Thank you for the heads-up, Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin.

I, too, am rooting for Boeing to get back on track.

2. Obviously we need a space system with a backup to NASA.

Just like redundant system in all critical work. It would have been a disaster if we had to ask Russia.
