Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, aboard the International Space Station (ISS), had been originally scheduled to come back to Earth in December 2024. Now, delays in Boeing’s Starliner capsule technicalities have prolonged their stay there. Thruster problems, gas leaks, and some other malfunctions in Starliner led NASA to use SpaceX’s Crew Dragon to bring them back to Earth, with the new timeline set for March 2025, with further chances of delay until May. This extension presents challenges in astronaut health, requiring adjustments to physical and psychological support systems. Yet, the astronauts continue to do valuable research, and this again underlines the unpredictable nature of space exploration and its complexities.
