NASA's two astronauts stranded in space received bad news due to the extension of their space mission and the expectation that they would not return until spring. 61-year-old astronaut Butch Wilmore and 58-year-old Suni Williams left the International Space Station in June. Just eight days later, the astronauts, who were expected to return home, had their mission durations extended for months after NASA decided in September to send the faulty Starliner capsule back empty. THEIR RETURN COULD TAKE 10 MONTHSAccording to a report in the Daily Mail, NASA announced that the rescue team's return has been delayed by another month, and the astronauts' return will occur ten months after their departure from Earth. The launch of the next four-member crew was planned for February, with Wilmore and Williams expected to return home with two astronauts at the end of the month. However, in a recent statement, it was noted that SpaceX needs more time to prepare the new capsule for launch, and the launch is now planned to take place no earlier than the end of March. "TORTURE"NASA also stated that it considered using a different SpaceX capsule to transport the new crew to ensure the flights occur on schedule, but decided to wait for the new capsule. Many social media users reacted to the horror of the situation, describing the delay as 'torture.'
