Boeing crew capsule returning to Earth after aborted flight

Boeing aimed to bring its Starliner crew capsule back to Earth on Sunday to end its first test flight, a mission cut short by an improperly set clock on the spacecraft. The Starliner — carrying no astronauts, only a test dummy — was supposed to spend the coming week at the International Space Station, part of a critical dress rehearsal for a flight with a real crew next year. The station docking was scrapped, and Boeing and NASA decided to bring the spacecraft home as soon as possible.
