Two astronauts stranded in space for 49 days – 41 days longer than their planned mission – because their Boeing-build ride home is full of leaks will have to spend at least a few more weeks aboard the International Space Station, officials said Thursday. 

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were meant to spend just eight days in space following their launch aboard the Boeing Starliner — the maiden crewed voyage for the spacecraft. 

Once in space, astronauts found a series of concerning helium leaks and have been testing whether the ship can be used to return them to Earth.
