NASA gives crucial update on when astronauts trapped in space will return to Earth - and why any sooner could burn them to a crisp

Daily Mail  

NASA said it needs at least another week to determine how long its stranded astronauts will be stuck in space because of Boeing's faulty space craft. NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore were only supposed to be up there for eight days when they launched on Boeing's Starliner in June, but an issue with the craft's thruster system means it's not safe to undock and bring them home. NASA says there's a chance the Boeing's faulty Starliner could still return Williams and Wilmore to Earth, despite numerous technical issues with the spacecraft. NASA's chief astronaut, Joe Acaba, said that astronauts like Williams and Wilmore 'embark on missions fully aware of the various scenarios and outcomes that may become our realities.'
