In June 2024, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams launched to the International Space Station aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. What was meant to be a week-long test flight has turned into an extended stay, with the astronauts now potentially facing months in space. During Starliner's flight, engineers detected unexpected technical issues. While Wilmore and Williams are safe on the ISS, these issues have raised concerns about their safe return home.
