NASA's 2 stuck astronauts face more time in space with return delayed until at least late March

NASA's latest decision extends the mission of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who will remain in orbit for approximately ten months, due to delays in crew replacement.

NASA had intended for the astronauts' mission to last only eight days, but following complications with Boeing's Starliner, that duration has now extended to eight months.

The launch for the next crew, originally scheduled for February, has been postponed to late March, resulting in a necessary wait before Wilmore and Williams can return.

NASA's preference for overlapping crews at the International Space Station ensures a smoother transition, influencing their decision to wait for the new SpaceX capsule.
