Two NASA astronauts, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, have been stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) for more than 50 days after their mission using the Boeing Starliner capsule experienced serious problems. The Starliner capsule experienced a helium leak and failure on several thrusters during the flight. NASA and Boeing have not been able to announce a date to transport Williams and Wilmore back to Earth. However, they claim the capsule is safe enough to return if needed. The failure of this system forced Williams and Wilmore to stay on the ISS longer than planned, with further issues regarding leaks and malfunctions that had to be fixed remotely.

No western media will talk about this.
-
If it's Boeing, I'm really not going.
-
Imagine China, Russia, or Iran in this situation, the whole media landscape will report this as the Soviet Era Bhilshit and it will be heard everywhere in the world. Sad. Nonetheless, may God bring them home safely.
-
If you have sent them in the space, it should be your most important priority to get them back safely.
-
I sincerely hope that the astronauts are safe & well & will return back to earth safely, USA ASAP🌻
-
USA should focus on their own problems rather than worrying about Israel and Ukraine
-
I spent 20+ years as a Test Engineer at a company that supplies space-qualified components whose failure would be catastrophic. This is inexcusable.
-
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW SCARY IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR THE DUO
-
WHY is boeing still allowed to fly people
-
I grew up in Seattle watching 747 and 727 test aircraft fly over my home. Now, Boeing is losing its integrity; whistleblowers and technical errors are discrediting it’s reputation.
-
Are they still alive? Do they have supplies for their survival? This is like that movie The Martian. It's weird how this isn't being covered much by major news outlets.
-
Time flies so quickly, now only 154 days left for year 2024
-
My dream of being an astronaut was pretty much crushed when Kalpana Chawla tragically died. I didn't want to work this hard and face so many battles to be drafted only to end up dying in Space.
-
Serious I've been hearing a lot of complaints about Boeing company nowadays
-
Get to the Chinese space station for a flight back .... they have an overcapacity of flights in space.
-
Boing has gone to crap. Space X should get the contract.
-
The Chinese need to bail them out, but the Wolf amendment prevents that!
-
Hopefully, the delays are to ensure her safe return rather than due to any undisclosed alarming reason, which is becoming quite concerning.
-
Lost in space tv series now lost in space became real
-
Why are they not sending another spacecraft to bring them back? Didn't they have Plan B ready after these many decades of experience?
