Ken Bowersox , NASA 's associate administrator for space operations, said SpaceX 'helped with a lot of options' for bringing Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore home.

He explained that they discussed adding a mission or bringing the currently docked capsule home early, 'but we ruled them out pretty quickly just based on how much money we've got in our budget' NASA has kept a tight lid on why it did not send another capsule to the ISS after Boeing 's faulty Starliner returned to Earth empty in September , leaving the pair stranded for more than nine months .

It comes after a report found the agency spent millions on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ( DEI ) grants and contracts.
