2 Astronauts Are Stuck in Space and There's a Big Problem

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who were supposed to spend just eight days on the ISS, now face an indefinite stay due to technical difficulties with their spacecraft, nicknamed Calypso. In a recent call with journalists, the two astronauts shared their exciting and nerve-wracking experience aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Their mission, meant to be the final test before regular astronaut missions, has turned into a journey filled with unexpected problems and quick thinking.

[@lmsthomas89]

I was company-mates with Suni at Annapolis. She has always had a positive attitude. I am praying that she makes it back down safely.

[@SWExplore]

She and Butch will make it back home safely, but not in that defective Boeing Starliner. Starliner's batteries are by now totally depleted and the on-board helium that leaded our completely.

[@kongthai..]

They probably send a SpaceX for rescue. 😂❤

I got to meet her in person. She is such a gracious person. To this day that moment brings immense joy to me.

[@supremebuffalo6322]

I don't know either of them but I too hope they get back safely. They're in very safe hands, though.

[@richardkallio3868]

I think NASA has demonstrated a very commendable return to "safety first", as compared to the Challenger and Columbia days when they seemed to be toying with risk. Also, I agree it will probably be a SpaceX craft that brings the crew back. The only question remaining is when. I don't know how I'd feel if I were the one looking at being stuck in orbit until February 2025, but I am praying for fortitude to Butch and Suni on a daily basis. Hopefully they won't have to wait as long as predicted, but at least they have company up there and for the time being, are safe and sound! They are reportedly both very spiritual/religious individuals; so, their respective faiths are likely helping them both maintain a positive perspective!

[@ivo-fv8xz]

Boeing should not have received more compensation than SpaceX, as the Crew Dragon had perfect functionality while the Starliner had lots of problems and delays both before and after the launch. Ironic considering Boeing criticized SpaceX's reliability. You can´t lose FIVE RCS thrusters, and yes,some of them got recovered (and not even all of them) but this monumental error put the crew's life at risk. Also, the cancellation of the launch just 3 minutes and 50 seconds prior is just ridiculous.And i know, these projects are not easy,but Boeing had enough funding and more than enough time, especially given the two launch cancellations,wich it seems they didn´t use given the FIVE leaks in the helium supply. Boeing is a mess!

Boeing gets some credit here for good design by adding redundant RCS. 28 independent thrusters and im assuming gyroscopes as well (reaction wheels) were the only thing keeping that craft from going off into space Had all the thrusters failed on 1 side, they likely would have to deorbit before entering an uncontrollable spin, and if such thrusters had failed during thrust close to the ISS, everybody on both ships could have died It's a really minor thing that was saved by having extra backups for backups, but this can't happen again, not even in a rush. The ISS has enough supplies to last a little while, and they will have to make it last, but they are trained to do that

[@AmbientMorality]

There's no reaction wheels. Generally they don't work well for crewed spacecraft, which don't spend long in free flight and need reliable systems with high redundancy. Reaction wheels come out too heavy.
