      NASA has again postponed the return to Earth of Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams, the [astronauts stranded on the International Space Station](https://www.wired.com/story/starliner-return-nasa-spacex-boeing-iss/) after [Boeing’s Starliner capsule malfunctioned](https://www.wired.com/story/nasa-boeing-starliner-return-home-spacex/) in the middle of this year.

      The crew of the spacecraft arrived at the ISS in June. The objective was to test the Starliner’s comprehensive capabilities, including launch, docking, and return systems. The mission was scheduled to last one week. Five of the capsule’s 28 thrusters failed to function before docking with the ISS. Boeing claimed that its technology could guarantee the safe return of the astronauts. However, NASA expressed doubts and concluded that the risk was too high. The agency entrusted the task to [SpaceX](https://www.wired.com/tag/spacex).

      They aren’t “stranded starliner astronauts”.

      Not to mention the two other people they are coming back with.

      Edit: Astronauts that aren’t on Starliner and can leave on their Dragon at any time in an emergency are not “stranded”.

      Stranded: left **without the means** to move from somewhere. – Oxford Dictionary.

      Y’all really love to play into the sensationalism of mainstream media.

      They’re on a different mission now, a mission that has a capsule docked at ISS.

      This is just click bait at this point OP.

      Also, wired.com? Really dude?

      They were meant to be there for a week. They will have been there for nine months — if their return isn’t postponed again.

      Wait they’re still up there? I thought they came back already. Or are these different stranded astronauts?

      This is reaching Kerbal level of rebranding stranded crew members as colonists.

      How are they surviving? Do they account for extended food/oxygen supply for situations like this? And yes I refuse to click the article.

      Interesting does this have to do with the fact that UAP are flying around?

      They’re not stranded. They could come back today if they needed to.

      Without knowing how they feel about it personally, when you consider how highly experienced both of these naval aviators are, and the opportunities they will have now to undertake new missions:

      They have decades of experience training for challenging things, and a huge support network to make their time up there productive and important.

      This is the power of sending of some of the best, brightest and strongest individuals we have to the frontier.

      – why isnt spaceX falcon being sent there again ? Already went once and brought others back…. This is not good for NASA

      Should have gone to Mars instead, they’d arrive by the time they’re suppose to return.
