Hard to watch Boeing capsule leave space without us, Nasa astronauts say

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore make first public comments since capsule left for Earth without them

Stuck-in-space astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams said on Friday it was hard to watch their Boeing capsule return to Earth without them.

It was their first public comments since last week's return of the Boeing Starliner capsule that took them to the International Space Station in June. They remained behind after Nasa determined the problem-plagued capsule posed too much risk for them to ride back in.
