Two American astronauts, Wilhemlms and Wilmore, have been stranded on the International Space Station for months because of the failure of Boeing’s Starliner. The two astronauts spoke about their feelings about being stranded in space during a live video broadcast with NASA officials Sunday night, Sky News reported, said they did not feel“Abandoned”.

In a live video chat with NASA officials, Wilhemlms and Wilmore, along with two other astronauts, appeared to be in good spirits, the report said. Wilhemlms was responding to a question about the film Cast Away.
“Eventually we want to go home,” Wilhemlms said, “But we have a lot of work to do here and we have to get it done before we leave.”
Wilmore and Wilhemlms 2024 to the space station on June 5 aboard the interstellar passenger jet, the first manned test flight of the interstellar passenger jet. The spacecraft was scheduled to return on June 14, but due to propeller failure and helium leakage and other problems, the return time has been repeatedly delayed. On September 7 of that year, the interstellar passenger jet spacecraft did not return to Earth with humans, when NASA announced that the two astronauts would instead return to Earth on the Dragon spacecraft in February 2025.
However, on December 17 last year, the United States“Space Detention” event again new developments. NASA again announced on the same day, because SpaceX needs more time to prepare a new spacecraft, the next mission will be delayed at least until the end of March 2025. This delayed the previous plan to return to Earth in February 2025 and meant that the two men, who had planned to spend eight days in space on business, would stay on the space station for at least nine months.
