Boeing Starliner lands on Earth after timer error cuts test flight short [i]Boeing's first Starliner spacecraft is back on Earth after a timing error resulted in its maiden mission being cut short. Although its uncrewed Orbital Flight Test (OFT) ended early and it was unable to reach the International Space Station, Boeing's CST-100 Starliner did achieve some of its original mission's objectives and became the first U.S. crew capsule to touch down on land. Descending under parachutes and deploying airbags, the spacecraft made a soft landing at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico at 5:58 a.m. MST (1258 GMT) on Sunday (Dec. 22).[/i]
