NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule on June 5, are experiencing an extended stay at the International Space Station (ISS) due to technical issues. The astronauts have been at the ISS for 3 weeks, and their return is on indefinite hold as NASA and Boeing conduct additional thruster tests and analyze helium leaks that occurred during the capsule's rendezvous with the ISS. Despite the delays, NASA officials have assured that the astronauts are not in any immediate danger. The mission marks Boeing's first astronaut launch after years of delays and setbacks. The astronauts also had to take emergency shelter aboard the ISS due to potential threats from space debris.
