Astronauts who went on an eight-day test flight might be stuck in space until 2025

Two astronauts who went on an eight-day test flight to the International Space Station face being stuck there until next year.

Commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and pilot Sunita "Suni" Williams arrived at the ISS in June as the first crew to test Boeing's new Starliner.

But a problem with the flight capsule means they may not be able to return home until early 2025.

Boeing has really made a complete mess of its reputation.

Boeing should change their name to Boing

Bet the astronauts can't believe their luck. The way things are going down here, planet Earth might be unrecognisable when they return.

Better learn to cultivate potatoes in poop.

Pens twitching at Hollywood indeed. This is a movie writing itself!

[sniffer]

Get them home via SpaceX and send Starliner back unmanned to see it preforms correctly. Dont take any risks, , simple

[chrisjames]

Boeing just send up one of your reverse engineered alien vehicles

[LivingroomTV-meoz]

Didn’t that thing take, like TWENTY years to build? What a joke.

[chriswilliams]

People are trapped in space, and the presenter finds it funny enough to make a joke about twitching pens in Hollywood.

Someone did a video a while back pointing out how Boeing went from the most trusted aircraft manufacturer ever to a company that lots of Americans refuse to fly on its jets anymore, and it all started when a new CEO took over and started pushing for better dividends rather than quality products.

From the planned 8 days to about 250 days if they do travel back in february. Wish I had a job that allowed me to mess up this bad

[lordbeermonster]

Why not ask the Russians to help? ... Oh wait 🤦🏼‍♂️

[grumblewoof]

The question those astronauts are asking now is, who is feeding the cat ?

[Craig-wppz]

Never mind, its a Boeing, so a door could pop open at any point.... 😮
Problem, er, negated

[richardrussell]

"...Boeing says it's safe to fly..." red flag.... Red Flag.... RED

[konyaknaga]

I told them to purchase food for till next year, November. But so sad they denied and bought only for 10 months 😂😂😂

[hughallan]

Boeing screwing up: The sky’s no longer the limit.

[PAB]

Look like their in a washing machine to me.

There's an ol saying, any port in a storm 😉
