These are The Facts of the two astronauts stuck in space:
June 5, 2024: Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore launched to the ISS on Boeing's Starliner for its first crewed test flight, planned for 8-10 days.
June 6, 2024: Starliner docked at the ISS but faced helium leaks and 5 of 28 reaction control thrusters failing, critical for safe maneuvering and reentry.
August 2024: NASA deemed Starliner unsafe for crewed return after extensive testing; decided to bring it back uncrewed.
September 6, 2024: Starliner returned to Earth without crew, freeing a docking port at the ISS (limited to 2 U.S. capsules).
September 29, 2024: SpaceX Crew-9 mission launched with 2 empty seats for Williams and Wilmore, but their return was tied to Crew-10’s arrival.
February 2025: Crew-10 launch delayed from February to late March 2025 for SpaceX to prepare a new Crew Dragon spacecraft.
March/April 2025: Williams and Wilmore expected to return home after Crew-10 arrives, extending their ISS stay to over 9 months.
Facts: ISS had ample supplies (food, water, oxygen) via resupply missions; astronauts conducted research and maintenance during the delay.

Elon, I have long admired you and what you have accomplished, especially at SpaceX and Tesla.
You know as well as I do, that Butch and Suni are returning with Crew-9, as has been the plan since last September. Even now, you are not sending up a rescue ship to bring them home. They are returning on the Dragon capsule that has been on ISS since last September.

Chandra, the space-based observatory that brings us incredible x-ray images of extreme environments in the cosmos, is at risk of cancellation. It’ll be a huge loss to astronomy if the mission ends early for budget reasons. Go to https://t.co/U6nyMs9UPl to help #SaveChandra
These are the scenes that the Kremlin 🇷🇺 did their utmost to prevent. It requires courage by citizens to go there and show their emotions - they are certain to have been recorded by the regime security service. https://t.co/fmeqhHrxrx
