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 flight back.

Stuck in space is a true nightmare. These brave souls have been forced to give up time with their families, including all the major holidays, and instead of compassion, people are on here talking about long debunked conspiracy theories like ignorant kindergarteners. Its disgusting and insulting to our astronauts and our country. 🇺🇸

It's all CGI, the international scam station.
