NASA will keep 2 astronauts in space until 2025, nixes return on troubled Boeing capsule

NASA decided Saturday it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and they’ll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What should have been a weeklong test flight for the pair will now last more than eight months. The seasoned pilots have been stuck at the International Space Station since the beginning of June.

A cascade of vexing thruster failures and helium leaks in the new capsule marred their trip to the space station, and they ended up in a holding pattern as engineers conducted tests and debated what to do about the trip back.

Starliner almost rescued them, but a wheel fell off, and someone (Carl) forgot to pack the lug wrench.

That’s bizarre. Leave them there till 2025? What if they have a medical emergency? No way to come back for eight months?

I think there's something they're not telling us. And whatever it is it's bad, like really bad. Truth is always stranger than fiction.

Imagine the space radation exposure accumulation. They are going to need months of physical therapy to walk again. If they make it home. Boing should be dropped as a contractor entitely.

The government needs to bring them back now. Pray that they come back next year by January if not, it will be too late.

Skipper Jonas Grumby: You don't know anything about space.
Gilligan: I do know one thing. You take up more of it than I do.

What the Hell is wrong with NASA? It seems to me that this agency needs a serious overhaul. Are they doing that DEI nonsense?

you guys should really add into along with the video title "spaceX" and something short about them helping pick up where boeing left off.

I'm glad they can stay on the space station and be safe and be a part of the good things going on there.
