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.
