>Two NASA astronauts have been stranded in space for months due to a fault with Boeing's spacecraft - but their return to Earth could be even more terrifying. Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were only supposed to be on the International Space Station for eight days when they launched on Boeing's Starliner on June 5. But a fault with the capsule's thrusters - critical to propel the craft through space - means they've been stuck there for over two months, and NASA says they might not return until February next year. The space agency is now deciding whether to persist with the faulty Starliner or launch a a rescue mission using SpaceX's rival ship, which would be hugely embarrassing for Boeing.
