>A pair of Astronauts remain trapped in space with no end in sight to their near two month long ordeal while engineers try to fix their faulty Boeing spaceship. Sunita Williams and Barry 'Butch' Wilmore have had their stay on the International Space Station extended indefinitely after hoping to visit the orbiting lab for 8 days. On Friday July 26, they hit day 51. Thruster failures and helium links on Boeing's new Starliner capsule has prompted NASA and Boeing to keep them in orbit for longer over fears a trip back on the spacecraft could end in disaster.

They knew better than launching that deathtrap without major repairs and they did it anyway. We called it. Everyone called it. Its fucking amazing that it even made it to the ISS without killing everyone.
