America's Astronauts Being Held Hostage By America At The Space Station- Wilmore And Sunita... Is Biden Aware?

[crossbody]

Long story short... They went up there to the space station in one of Boeing's Starliner "raggedy" capsules and they are not able to get that thing to return them back to earth. It's that exact same company that makes faulty airplanes.

Boeing's Starliner has broken down and will not start. Those people "ARE" there in space "STRANDED" That raggedy capsule broke down on them. Biden refuses to bring them home any other way except on that raggedy capsule that has malfunctioned.

Astronauts stranded in space face further setback to return home

America's Astronauts Being Held Hostage By America​

What's going on with Starliner spacecraft? Boeing, NASA insist astronauts are not 'stranded.'​

Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams have been on the International Space Station weeks longer than anticipated.​

Thu, July 4, 2024, 12:06 PM CDT

Boeing’s Starliner capsule has been in space for more than three weeks — with no specific plan for an arrival date back to Earth. Space observers have claimed that the astronauts are “stranded,” but NASA says that’s not the case.

Starliner is Boeing’s spacecraft that's designed to carry astronauts to and from the International Space Station. However, this year marks the first mission of Starliner with people onboard, after one failed empty-capsule mission in 2019 and a completed one in 2022.

Here’s what you need to know about the latest developments in space exploration.

A look at Starliner’s launch this month​

Starliner commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore and co-pilot Sunita Williams, both of whom are retired Navy captains and veteran NASA astronauts, launched Starliner on June 5. (The June 5 launch was actually the third try with astronauts — the first two were canceled due to rocket issues.)

Wilmore and Williams were originally supposed to complete a 10-day flight before returning to Earth on June 14. That return date was delayed multiple times. Now, Wilmore and Williams are still at the space station — and, per an announcement from NASA, won’t return to Earth until sometime in July at the earliest.

Yahoo News has reached out to NASA for comment.

What’s happening now?​

Steve Stich, NASA's Commercial Crew Program manager, told reporters that “Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.” NASA’s plan is to return them on Starliner, which is “working well.” However, more work needs to be done before they can return to Earth.

While NASA says that Starliner is fit to come back to Earth in the event of an emergency, the spaceship experienced what they believe to be helium leaks and thruster issues when it docked on the space station. Both NASA and Boeing want to take a closer look at why this happened, which is why Wilmore and Williams will remain on the space station until further testing can be completed. “Their spacecraft is working well, and they're enjoying their time on the space station,” Stich said.

Technically, Starliner has 10 times the amount of helium it needs to return to Earth — even with the leaks, Stich previously told reporters. However, testing on the ground allows them to make sure the leaks won’t get worse.

What’s the game plan?​

That testing will happen at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico beginning July 2. NASA and Boeing will attempt to replicate the thruster usage during the flight. This should last about two weeks, with additional analysis to follow — which is why, as of now, NASA and Boeing do not yet have a landing date for Starliner.

Both Wilmore and Williams spent time at the space station before — so keeping them there shouldn’t be an issue, even if it is a shift from the original plan. Leroy Chiao, a former NASA astronaut, told Scientific American, “Butch and Suni can stay onboard ISS almost indefinitely if needed, so they are in no danger.”

NASA astronauts' return on Boeing's spaceship has been delayed repeatedly

The two NASA astronauts who flew Boeing’s Starliner capsule to the space station this month have been in orbit longer than anticipated — and will stay there for now.

When Obama was president he had NASA dependent on Russia to get in and out of space. Maybe Biden needs get Putin to help him get those two astronauts home.

On the plus side they are perfectly safe.....as long as they don't go into the module russia built. Apparently that section is falling apart at the seams. Russia acknowledges continuing air leak from its segment of space station

Trump needs to be all over this story. Trump needs to have the families of these astronauts at the Republican National Convention.

Is there an emergency? These scientists stay up there for a long time. Don't forget that it's an "International" Space station that houses Russians

This has to be brought to Lara Trump's attention.

That's so strange

You know I thought it was odd when they first started reporting on this story, that they kept insisting that the astronauts were not "stranded".

Are they going to have to send another "vehicle" up there to pick them up and return them to earth?

 

[crossbody]

It's been reported by most of the liberal news outlets but the story is still being downplayed. The main problem is America wanting them to return home ONLY on a defective Boeing capsule.

Return on that defective capsule or just don't return at all. This is why we do not do favors for the federal government.

Read the #3 post. In it they say they want them to return on that defective Boeing Capsule and no other way.

Stranded in space.... I can't imagine a more horrible situation!

Thank you Obiden Regime, everything they touch turns to shit.
