Boeing 's faulty Starliner spacecraft will return to Earth unmanned today after three months docked to the International Space Station .
But experts have raised concerns over a small chance that Starliner could malfunction again, and potentially send it careening into the ISS .
'There is an extremely small probability that if all of the thrusters fail, the spacecraft could impact the ISS ,' former US military Space System Commander Rudy Ridolfi told DailyMail.com.
Williams and Wilmore will remain on the ISS until at least February 2025 , when SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will shepherd them back to Earth .
In the event that Starliner 's thrusters misfire during re-entry, there's little that mission control can do to resolve the issue.
If problems arise right from the start, mission control could shut everything down, keep Starliner in orbit for another day and try again tomorrow .
