SpaceX, maybe, but I think it’s more likely that Boeing would hire Russia to send a Soyuz capsule to bring their two astronauts home.

While both Butch and Suni have flown the Soyuz, I think the most likely return will be on Starliner (Jane). Backup is most likely Dragon. Need a couple chairs and a couple suits.

I mean, c’mon. We all know these astronauts are gonna have to come home via SpaceX. The ultimate embarrassment, but perhaps the safest solution.

This another great piece of reporting. It's unfortunate to see a great company like Boeing in this kind of situation. Lots of American jobs on the line here. But that's one of the big negative fallouts of corporate culture these days, profit over all else. Not exactly what we want when we climb aboard one of those planes! The astronauts stranded story...now we're getting serious! Great piece.
