6:36Now PlayingCorrection: In this segment, we said NASA astronaut Peggy Whitson holds the record for most cumulative days in space. We should have said Whitson holds the record for an American astronaut. The most cumulative days in space record is held by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko. We regret the error.
NASA's initial launch with the Boeing Starliner capsule has not worked out well. The space agency announced this weekend it has finally decided the two astronauts stuck at the International Space Station will come back on a SpaceX Dragon capsule next year. The pair were initially sent on an eight-day mission in early June. Amna Nawaz discussed the latest with science correspondent Miles O’Brien.
