There are several return options being evaluated by NASA, including using their own existing Boeing Starliner shuttle, however, there have been issues with several thrusters aboard the craft, making it a less-than-ideal option.
Unfortunately, the alternative plan would involve putting astronauts aboard the Space-X Dragon Crew craft where starliner spacesuits won’t work with the life support systems.
Because NASA has allowed commercial crews to engineer their own gear so long as it falls within a set of safety standards, intercompatibility was not required for the space suits, slimming options in the case of a malfunction.
