NASA has revealed that astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Butch Wilmore may remain aboard the International Space Station (ISS) until February 2025 due to severe issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. Originally intended for an eight-day mission, their stay has extended to over 60 days. During a press conference on Thursday, August 8, NASA admitted to significant problems with the Starliner, which has been stranded at the ISS since June this year. While initially optimistic about the Starliner’s return capabilities, NASA is now considering alternative plans. One such option includes using SpaceX’s Crew 9 mission, slated for a September 2024 launch, to bring the astronauts home using the Dragon spacecraft. Sunita Williams, Barry Butch Wilmore Stuck in Space: NASA Runs 1,00,000 Simulations for Safe Return of Astronauts From International Space Station.
