Astronauts sent on 8-day mission may be stuck in space until 2025: NASA

The Boeing Starliner crew may have to wait until 2025 to return from the International Space Station (ISS), NASA officials said Wednesday.

The administration suggested at a press conference that they may need to use Boeing’s competitor, SpaceX, to return astronauts Suni Wiliams and Butch Wilmore back to Earth. The officials said that if Starliner cannot make it back from the ISS, the duo could possibly return on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon in February 2025.

*_WTF IS WRONG WITH NASA

[lindapindabelinda]

NASA used to make their own rockets and shuttles. Then they started outsourcing to companies like Boeing. Who would’ve ever guessed that that would be a problem?

It's a Boeing it's not going

[JizzMasterTheZeroth]

Problems with Boeing? No way! As long as they don't start whistleblowing they should be alright.

[Travelwithchris]

Hope they are getting some great bonus pay lmao Sounds rough!

[Thadopeera]

They said Elon was on his way to save them in his flying briefcase

Boeing is held together with duct tape and cut corners. I've talked with people that used to build their airplanes, they stated they would never fly on a boeing aircraft.

[qdingxl]

They never left the training module. Notice the comments are turned off on the rest of these because everyone called them out

[gokaren]

Decided to check on them today and am shocked that they're still stuck in space. FATHER JEHOVAH WE NEED A BREAKTHROUGH RIGHT NOW FOR THE 2 BRAVE SOULS STUCK IN SPACE .

[desmeisme]

That’s insane! Please bring them safely. Can being in space that long create difficulties back on earth

[Jdalio]

This is what happens when accountants design aircraft.

[joannekemp]

They keep saying they're not stuck? If you say they can't get them back at the time you said _ they're stuck! Now there's a problem with the spacesuits, and their health is being compromised

[ddrusa]

Bring them home already why wait till next year come on now

[alexthompson]

Boeing cant keep their planes in the air here on earth...cant get their capsules back outta the sky safely...wth would you go to space on one of their products ....

[theladyshy]
