Two NASA astronauts, Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams, are currently stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) with no set return date due to mechanical issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. Originally scheduled to return on June 14, their mission has been delayed multiple times due to problems such as helium system leaks and thruster performance issues observed during the spacecraft’s rendezvous and docking.

Don't worry, soon an X-37B will dock with backup supplies, and a week later any persons with possible knowledge of Boeing malfeasance will unrelatedly, and regrettably, pass away.
