THE Nasa astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station (ISS) could have ‘the bones of an 80-year-old when they land,’ an expert has told The Sun. Butch Wilmore, 61, and Suni Williams, 58, flew to the ISS for an eight-day mission but will be unlikely to return to Earth before Christmas, Nasa announced this week. […]

Stranded Boeing astronauts may ‘have bones of 80-year-old when they land’ as Nasa still deciding when to bring them back

The Independent

 What should have been a quick trip to the International Space Station may turn into an eight-month stay for two NASA astronauts if they have to switch from Boeing to SpaceX for a ride home. There's lingering uncertainty over the safety of Boeing's new Starliner capsule, NASA officials said Wednesday, and the space agency is split over the risk. As a result, chances are increasing that test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams may have to watch from the space station as their Starliner is cut loose to return to Earth empty.If that happens, NASA would leave behind two...

NASA leaders said they are still trying to bringing home two astronauts who are stranded on the International Space Station — and should know this week whether their leaky, malfunctioning Boeing spacecraft is safe enough to ride home.

In a teleconference with reporters, officials said that astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are “doing great” and keeping busy on the ISS — and that they hope to have more answers by the end of next week. 

Williams and Wilmore piloted the maiden crewed voyage of the Starliner, a new Boeing spacecraft.

It's been 33 years since the handsome actor and Emmy award-winning TV game show host Bert Convy died of a brain tumor at 57 in 1991. This is his story. Bert Convy was born July 23, 1933, in St. Louis, Missouri. His father was in the shoe business, while his parents separated when he was just seven years old. His mother moved the family to California in the San Fernando Valley, where Convy attended North Hollywood High and was named the "class clown."

In Memory of Actor/Game Show Host Bert Convy: 33 Years After His Tragic Death From Brain Cancer

The idea of being lost in space is one of the great fears of humankind as we continue to make our first baby steps beyond the surly bonds of Earth. That horror is the Yin to the Final Frontier's Yang. The Tails to the great cosmic coin flip. An awful B side to the single that is ultimate adventure of our species. The very phrase "Lost in Space" is the title of one of the cheesiest Sci-Fi shows of all time and a 1998 movie that was truly mediocre despite an all-star cast. But the idea of it inspired some of the greatest art of the 20th century, from a dozen or so of the best Twilight Zone episodes, the book and film 2001: A Space Odyssey, the David Bowie song "Major Tom." I could name more, but you get the point. The idea of being left in the vacuum of space, with nothing but a fragile, man-made vessel to keep you alive is a deeply held, primordial fear that even the most terrestrial, earthbound human can relate to.
