NASA Astronauts Extend ISS Stay Due to Boeing Starliner Issues

Wilmore and Williams to return on SpaceX Crew Dragon after propulsion problems delay Starliner mission

Boeing Starliner experienced multiple thruster and helium leak issues during its mission.
NASA decided it was too risky to bring astronauts back on Starliner, opting for an uncrewed return.
Wilmore and Williams' stay on the ISS extended from days to eight months.
NASA has robust countermeasures for long-duration space missions, ensuring astronaut health and safety.
The astronauts will return to Earth in February 2025 on SpaceX's Crew Dragon.
