It just keeps getting worse. I guess we will see how things go when they attempt to detach it and deorbit from the ISS tomorrow.

From the post:

>Two NASA astronauts will endure months of intense radiation exposure after Boeing's Starliner spacecraft stranded them on the International Space Station. Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have been stuck on the ISS for three months. This has already put them at risk of receiving about 40 mSv to 80 mSv of radiation, which is roughly equivalent to 120 to 240 chest x-rays. They won't return to Earth until February 2025 at the earliest, and will have spent at least eight months in space and risked radiation exposure roughly equivalent to 310 to 630 chest x-rays.

Perspective from Wiki -

354 days 14 hours 56 minutes The longest stay on the International Space Station was achieved by Mark Vande Hei (USA) and Pyotr Dubrov (RUS), who spent 354 days 14 hours 56 minutes aboard the ISS1. The record for the longest single stay in space is held by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov, who spent 437 consecutive days aboard the Mir space station23.

Yeah, I was going to say that the title is pretty click-bait since there are plenty of people that will have been in space longer than them but they also only signed up for a like 8-day mission that will now be about 8 months or something?
