Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore found themselves stuck in space longer than expected due to issues with faulty thrusters on the Boeing Starliner capsule. The delay has left them unsure of when they will be able to return to Earth. Former astronaut Mike Massimino, who has experienced a space mission delay before, described the experience as some of the best days of his life, enjoying the relaxation and window-gazing. The delay has raised concerns for Boeing and the options available for the astronauts’ return remain uncertain. With little to do on the station, the astronauts are left in limbo as they await further updates on when they can expect to return home. The situation highlights the unpredictable nature of space travel and the challenges that can arise even for experienced astronauts. The Guardian is covering the story and keeping readers informed on the latest developments in this space mission delay.
