Boeing 's Starliner may not bring its first astronauts home after all.
The next Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station will now be delayed until Sept. 24 instead of Aug. 18 .
The sticking point is better understanding if and how apparent failures in thrusters on Starliner will affect its undocking and return to Earth .
A poppet valve in Starliner 's thrusters has been "heating up and extruding and contracting" in ground testing.
Crew-9 could launch with two astronauts and two seats filled with mass simulators to account for the empty seats.
The CFT astronauts would stay docked to ISS for a normal six-month mission.
Crew-8 will stay on board a little longer as it is expected to leave about a week past crew-9's arrival.
