NASA has decided it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule. They’ll have to wait until February for a ride home with SpaceX.
Their backup plan is to have the extra 2 astronauts lie on the floor of the Crew Dragon and reenter without suits. Yep. That’s still safer than Starliner.

They will have suits. There is a spare on the ISS, and Dragon will bring another one up. They covered that in the press conference.
I meant for the 3 weeks between when Starliner leaves and the Crew 9 Dragon gets there.
