NASA astronauts stranded due to Boeing's faulty Starliner received horrifying news on Wednesday about their return mission to Earth.
Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have already been trapped on the International Space Station (ISS) for more than two months, may not come back to Earth until February 2025.
The US space agency revealed a contingency plan that would launch a two-person crew on SpaceX's Crew-9 mission in September, but still wouldn't bring the crew home until months later.
The announcement is another highly embarrassing blow for the embattled Boeing, which is dealing with a spate of issues plaguing its commercial jets.

So..The Marxists have run the Kenyen so all bets are on. Let them sue. Democratics set the precedent.
Does the Secret Service run NASA now?
Democratics set the precedent.

Musk agrees that he was born in South Africa to parents who were not American citizens. And he never took the time to have a bogus American birth certificate created.
The Boeing POS capsule needs to be removed from the docking port, remotely deorbited, and allowed to burn up in the atmosphere. Send up a Crew Dragon and bring them home. Cancel all future use of the Boeing POS. That spacecraft system has been snakebit from the start.
I DONT CARE. Do you at this point?.
Not good news for people with Boeing pensions. 😳
Again, I doubt she has anything to do with it.
(Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.)
Thank you.
Sh!t happens, when you are trying to figure out how to do completely untried *stuff*; and trying and failing is a necessary part of succeeding.
Sometimes, if it’s dumbed-down to my execrable level .
(But I don’t understand irony at all.)
Very cool… thanks!
Decades ago, when Democrats ran Tallahassee and Bill Nelson was a state representative on the rise, he walked up to and started working a small crowd of visitors in the state capitol rotunda. He got to my younger bother and I and, hand out, saw our reflexive look of scorn and quickly passed us by. Looking back, I am proud of that moment. Instinctively, we knew Bill Nelson for a preening, self-important dope.
Absolutely
Looks that way!
I could think of a lot of humorous replies... But this just ain’t funny.
really. The Russians go back and forth on a regular basis. In fact, for several years, they were the only way to get our crews back and forth.

Unfortunately, that’s not possible.
The Soyuz is designed for a maximum of THREE crew. Unless ONE cosmonaut was launched, there’s not enough room for our astronauts to come back aboard it.The Soyuz isn’t designed to be flown by a single person.
So, if there’s gonna be a rescue, it’s gonna have to be SpaceX and Elon.
"Horrifying"?? Oh, please. These are trained NASA Astronauts, not 24 year old wokesters who are being laid off from McDonald's!
Yeah, but Felix didn’t have a lateral velocity of a hair under 8 km/s. There is that.
Hmm, some super glue, a solenoid, a battery or connection to battery power and a wireless on/off switch - where’s MacGyver when you need him? of course, these days maybe it’s not that kind of button.
LOL can’t argue with that!!
