NASA and Boeing say the astronauts are not technically "stranded," but their return timeline remains uncertain. Why have the astronauts come home yet? Are Boeing and NASA hiding something? Palki Sharma brings you the report.

For people who don't know. NASA gave grants to two private companies Boeing and SpaceX to develop a crew capsule so that US can send astronauts and supplies to the space station. SpaceX has already developed their capsule and has flown multiple crew missions successfully. Boeing's project kept getting delayed and had few issues in their initial tests and now this failure. Something is seriously wrong at Boeing. I would avoid flying in their newer planes.
