Don’t miss Saturn at its biggest and brightest this week.

Saturn is in opposition this weekend, which means that it’s on the opposite side of our planet from the Sun.

Tension erupted between NASA and Boeing officials when the decision had to be made over whether or not the Starliner spacecraft would come home with its two astronauts, officials revealed in a press conference on Wednesday.

During the last meeting NASA and Boeing held to discuss technical data, which occurred last month, the conversation about a crewed versus uncrewed return got uncomfortable, Steve Stich, manager for NASA’s Commercial Crew program, confirmed at a press conference with reporters Wednesday afternoon alongside two other NASA officials.

“Anytime you’re in a meeting of this magnitude, where there’s this kind of decision, there is some tension in the room,” Stich said. “The teams were very split.”
