The return to Earth of Boeing's Starliner capsule is on indefinite hold pending results of new thruster tests and ongoing analysis of helium leaks that cropped up during the ship's rendezvous with the International Space Station, NASA announced Friday.
But agency officials insisted Starliner commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and co-pilot Sunita Williams are not "stranded" in space.
