The former NASA astronaut, Scott Kelly, who spent 340 days in the space for his last mission, said Spacex has so far “quite reliable” while commenting on the recent return or astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore.

Williams and Wilmore had gone to space for an eight -day mission in June 2024, but stuck at the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months after their spacecraft developed serious technical hooks and returned without theme.
