Astronauts aboard the International Space Station may find themselves stuck in space for much longer than anticipated. What was supposed to be a 10-day mission for the crew who arrived on Boeing’s Starliner has now turned into a potentially months-long stay.
Due to technical issues with the Starliner, it seems that the astronauts may not be able to return to Earth until February at the earliest. This delay is a significant setback for the crew and NASA, who were hoping for a smooth mission to and from the space station.
The astronauts are reportedly staying busy with their research and other tasks aboard the station, but the extended stay is sure to take a toll on both their physical and mental well-being. The uncertainty of when they will be able to return to Earth must be weighing heavily on their minds.
NASA and Boeing are working diligently to resolve the issues with the Starliner and ensure a safe return for the astronauts. In the meantime, the crew will have to make the best of their unexpected extended stay in space.
