Family of stranded Boeing Starliner astronaut react to news he could be stuck in space until 2025

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 says chances are growing that astronauts may switch from Boeing to a SpaceX ride back to Earth

While NASA works on figuring out how to get the Boeing Starliner astronauts home, experts are concerned that it may straight-up crash into the International Space Station. As Business Insider notes, there are concerns inside and outside the agency that once the plagued spacecraft undocks from the ISS, malfunctioning thrusters could lead it to spin out of control and ultimately crash into the station.

As they descended towards the Titanic wreck, did the five souls inside the submersible that imploded last year ever get an inkling that they were going to die?. We won't ever know for sure, but the family of one of the victims has slapped the sub's maker OceanGate with a $50 million lawsuit, CNN reports, claiming that noise from the hull would have alerted the crew that they were going to meet a watery end.

Lawsuit Claims Titanic Tourists Knew They Were Going to Die Before Implosion

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.

New York Post

The two astronauts who have already been stuck in space for more than 60 days may have to wait until early 2025 before they can return to Earth — following a trip to the International Space Station that was supposed to last just eight days. 

NASA also acknowledged that the astronauts, who arrived on the maiden voyage of the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, may have to be rescued by the rival SpaceX CrewDragon, though that vessel won’t be ready until February.

NASA Launched This Spacecraft 47 Years Ago and It’s Now 15 Billion Miles Away

There’s an awful lot of junk floating around in space, with recent estimates suggesting there could be more than 25,000 objects in orbit around the Earth right now. We don’t often get to see this junk up close to find out how a lifetime in space affects man-made objects, until now.
