NASA astronauts recently returned from nearly eight months in space, a mission extended due to complications with Boeing's Starliner capsule and external factors like Hurricane Milton. Originally scheduled for an earlier return, the astronauts faced a prolonged stay at the International Space Station (ISS) because of the malfunctioning Starliner. Two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who took on the role of test pilots for the Boeing spacecraft, are now back on Earth after their extended mission. Despite the duration of their mission, both astronauts remained reticent about revealing which of them experienced sickness during the extended time in space. The Starliner’s issues have once again highlighted challenges in NASA's continued partnerships with commercial spaceflight companies as they work toward ensuring consistent and reliable transportation to and from the ISS.
