Despite indefinite landing delay, NASA insists Boeing Starliner crew not "stranded" in space
SUMMARY
NASA maintains that despite the indefinite delay in the Boeing Starliner's return to Earth due to technical issues, the crew consisting of Commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and co-pilot Sunita Williams is not "stranded" in space. The delay is reportedly attributed to ongoing tests and analysis related to thruster problems and helium leaks encountered during the mission. NASA officials stress that the crew is safe aboard the International Space Station, with the spacecraft functioning well. They reiterate that efforts are focused on resolving these issues before determining a new landing date for the Starliner's return journey to Earth.
