2. SOUNDBITE (English) Kjell N. Lindgren, NASA Astronaut:
"It's been an absolute privilege to be the on orbit part of the team that got Starliner successfully up here and docked to the space station. It's been a busy couple of days as we watched Starliner dock and then getting the hatch open and doing all of the cargo transfer and then participating in some of the checkouts as Starliner has been up here. And, you know, I think that we've just learned, you know, what is, what we were capable of when we were working together as a team. It's been phenomenal to see the Boeing, the commercial crew program, the NASA team all working together to make this happen. We know it's been a long road and we're just overjoyed to be a part of the success with with all these teammates."

STORYLINE:
NASA astronauts prepared Boeing's astronaut capsule for its return to Earth from the International Space Station Tuesday.
With only a test dummy aboard, Boeing's astronaut capsule pulled up and parked at the International Space Station for the first time last week, a huge achievement for the company after years of false starts.
Unlike SpaceX's Dragon capsule that splashes down off the Florida coast, Starliner will aim for a landing in New Mexico Wednesday.
With Starliner's arrival, NASA realized its longtime effort to have crew capsules from competing U.S. companies flying to the space station.
SpaceX already has a running start. Elon Musk's company pulled off the same test three years ago and has since launched 18 astronauts to the space station, as well as tourists.
The only other time Boeing's Starliner flew in space, it never got anywhere near the station, ending up in the wrong orbit.
The space station's seven astronauts unloaded groceries and gear from Starliner and packed it up with experiments.
