Boeing's Starliner didn't reach the ISS, but it made a historic safe landing

Boeing's Starliner didn't reach the ISS, but it made a historic safe landing

Boeing's ST-100 Starliner was supposed to make it to the International Space Station as the company's first test launch prepping for human space travel. Instead it became the first U.S. space capsule made for human use to land on continental U.S. soil instead of an ocean.

Early Sunday morning the craft landed at the Army's White Sands missile range in New Mexico (which was just designated a national park) after an "abbreviated" trip, NASA reported. 

LANDING CONFIRMED

The #Starliner spacecraft safely touched down at 7:58am ET at @WSMissileRange in New Mexico with a bulleye landing. This marks the 1st time an American-made, human-rated capsule has landed on land. Watch our live coverage: https://t.co/MAYPLDF7R7 pic.twitter.com/66owuQDsVB
