Boeing Starliner Mission Leaves Astronauts Stranded on ISS

Technical failures extend mission duration, prompting NASA to use SpaceX for a safe return in 2025.

Two astronauts have been stranded on the ISS after their Boeing Starliner mission faced multiple technical failures.
The Starliner mission, initially planned to last just over a week, has extended to several months due to continued issues.
NASA decided to bring the astronauts back using a SpaceX spacecraft in early 2025, citing safety concerns.
Prolonged space missions pose various health risks, including vision changes, muscle atrophy, and increased cancer risk.
The Starliner's issues are a significant blow to Boeing's reputation, already marred by past failures in aerospace engineering.
