Boeing starliner stranded

[nzoomed]

Doesn't look good for Boeing.
Will be even more of a PR disaster if they get SpaceX to send a crew dragon to go and get them.

"Not stranded." Clearly overstayers then....

Poor people, & yes, poor America.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 is one of the world's safest, most productive rockets. But now it's been grounded: A rare engine malfunction on July 11 prompted the US Federal Aviation Administration to initiate an investigation and halt all Falcon 9 flights until further notice.

July 25 (Reuters) - SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket has been cleared to return to space by the U.S. aviation regulator after it was grounded by a rare mid-flight failure, the Federal Aviation administration (FAA) said on Thursday.

It must be terrifying for them, even with all of their training & experience this has to be scary.

Reportedly the astronauts are having a great time getting the opportunity to spend extra time in space.
Their main fear is whether or not they are forced to return on a spacecraft that's potentially unreliable.
There is already some rumour that NASA is in talks with SpaceX about sending up a crew dragon to return the crew, who knows if that eventuates, but time is running out to send them back on the starliner.
