Two NASA astronauts, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, are stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) with no set return date due to issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. The spacecraft launched on June 5, but mechanical problems, including helium leaks and thruster issues, have delayed their return multiple times. NASA says the crew is safe with ample supplies on the ISS, which has a relatively open schedule until mid-August. The mission is part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, testing Boeing's spacecraft for routine ISS missions. NASA is taking a cautious approach, prioritizing safety over a quick return.
