NASA is increasing support for Boeing’s troubled astronaut capsule as the agency seeks to restore progress toward a return to crewed flights, sources report. The move includes additional help and funding intended to address technical issues and accelerate fixes.

The development follows setbacks involving two astronauts, commonly referred to as the “Butch and Suni” incident. While both outlets describe NASA’s decision as a ramp-up in assistance, they focus on the urgency of getting the capsule operational again rather than detailing specific technical causes or the final timeline for approval and launch.
