Five of Starliner 's thrusters unexpectedly misbehaved in the leadup to docking with the ISS .
NASA is looking at multiple options to bring people up and down in different ways than the spacecraft they arrived in.
One of them is to pare the next ISS launch to two astronauts instead of four , to make room for the next mission's Crew Dragon.
Another option is to squeeze under the four seats of Crew-8 's Dragon and join those astronauts on their ride home, which is coming soon.
Crew-8 would return with its four astronauts, with " up to three crew members" aboard its cargo pallet.
Two seats would be for the Starliner astronauts, and the third — if necessary — for Tracy Dyson , who flew to the ISS on a Soyuz this past March .
Weigel : "Contingency planning" is a normal course of work at NASA .
