In a dramatic twist, NASA's astronauts who were supposed to return from the International Space Station (ISS) in June found themselves stranded in orbit. The Boeing Starliner spacecraft, intended to bring them back, has now returned to Earth empty. What happened to the crew, and why is their return delayed until 2025? Find out the shocking details behind this spaceflight saga!

Recently, the aviation company Boeing, which has often been in the news for disasters, successfully transported two NASA astronauts to space with its Starliner spacecraft.

The launch took place successfully in June, and the two astronauts completed their mission and were ready for their return journey.

However, the Starliner spacecraft experienced some issues, and it was reported that the return might not be successful.

The astronauts' return, initially expected in July, was delayed. Weeks passed, and the astronauts continued to be stranded in space.

The astronauts, who were assisting other crew members at the International Space Station, expressed their belief that they would return to Earth someday.

In August, it was announced that a human return might still not be successful, and Boeing's Starliner would return to Earth using autopilot.

The Starliner, which successfully transported two people to space but failed to bring them back, landed on Earth after approximately six hours of flight.

The spacecraft returned to Earth without the astronauts and landed in the New Mexico desert in the United States. The astronauts will return home in February using a SpaceX capsule.
