NASA astronauts could be stuck in space until 2025

Daily Mail  

When NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore set off to the International Space Station in June, the pair expected to be back home just eight days later. However, the astronauts are now stranded on the ISS due to Boeing's faulty Starliner - and have received the horrifying news that they might not come back to Earth until February 2025. NASA has revealed a contingency plan that could launch a SpaceX 's Crew-9 mission in September, but still wouldn't bring the crew home until months later. However, experts told MailOnline in June that NASA could be forced to launch a rescue mission, suggesting Elon Musk's SpaceX would be tapped to get it done. A meeting this week of NASA's CCP, which oversees Starliner, ended with some officials disagreeing on a plan to accept Boeing's testing data and use Starliner to bring the astronauts home.
