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.

Translation: they have no clue how to help them and they sent equipment with the wrong connectors. You do that on a Home Depot run, not nasa. 🤦🏼‍♀️

What a complete embarrassment... Well, at least they're not putting the astronauts' lives on the line like they used to do.

Better to take the safer route instead of following in the footsteps of Apollo 1, Challenger, or Colombia.

Looking at the comments, it doesn't seem that people realize this is on Boeing. They have been cutting corners with their air and space crafts.

NASA probably just contracts out the crafts but its on Boeing to make sure they are up to standard.
