Will it take months for Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore to return from ISS? Know what NASA and Boeing have planned
==========

NASA and Boeing planned to complete the mission in a few days, but the Boeing Starliner capsule faced glitches and the astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, are still stuck on the International Space Station (ISS). The Starliner capsule leaked helium gas and its thrusters malfunctioned. The astronauts have already spent more than three weeks on the ISS, and there is uncertainty about when they will return. NASA is considering extending the mission from 45 days to 90 days. Boeing and NASA plan to experiment in New Mexico to understand why the thrusters failed. Four of the five failed thrusters have been restored, but the cause of the failure is still unknown.
