    Yes it is actually! When it finally returns, this Starliner will be landing in New Mexico at the White Sands Space Harbor, which is basically a backup space shuttle landing strip.

      Neat, thanks! (What about Dragon?)

        It’s not designed to like Starliner, but Dragon can in emergency situations. Starliner has airbags to cushion it on touchdown, but Dragon doesn’t so it would probably be a much rougher landing for the astronauts.
