Boeing’s Stranded Astronauts Will Have to Stay on the ISS for Even Longer
In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that Boeing’s stranded astronauts will have to stay on the International Space Station (ISS) for even longer than initially anticipated. The decision comes after NASA officials were unable to retrieve the stranded crew members due to technical issues with the spacecraft.
The incident occurred when an uncrewed Boeing spacecraft, designed to transport astronauts to and from space, experienced a malfunction shortly after launch. The glitch caused the vehicle to become stuck in Earth’s orbit, leaving the astronauts on board without a clear path back to our planet.
After months of intense negotiations between NASA officials and private space companies, including SpaceX, a solution was finally reached. Unfortunately, it means that the stranded crew will have to remain on the ISS for an extended period, likely well into 2025.
NASA officials are working closely with Boeing engineers to identify the root cause of the malfunction and develop a plan for safely retrieving the astronauts.
