4 Months & Counting, NASA Astronauts Sunita Williams & Butch Wilmore Remain Stranded In Space

Boeing's Starliner mission, intended as a crucial test for NASA's future space flights, has turned into an unexpected ordeal for astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore. Launched on June 5 for what was supposed to be an eight-day mission to the International Space Station, the spacecraft encountered significant thruster issues that have left the astronauts stranded in space for over four months. Despite their confidence in the spacecraft, NASA recently announced that they will remain in orbit until early 2025, relying on SpaceX for their return. Meanwhile, the astronauts are facing not only the technical challenges of the malfunctioning Starliner but also health concerns like space anemia, and strange noises from the spacecraft add to the uncertainty. As their prolonged stay continues, the hope remains that Sunita and Butch will return safely to Earth soon.
