    I feel so bad for these astronauts, I can’t imagine being told I’d be stuck through the new year. and this puts the dragon crew half staffed for the work they needed to do. Boeing seriously fucked up here.

    Glad they can come home on a safe craft, but there needs to be repercussions and answers.

      I’d probably be upset to have my return delayed that much, but I’m sure there are people who would be ecstatic that their space trip got extended. Hopefully those astronauts are the latter XD

        Astronauts knowingly take on risk, but the risk is usually of a sudden and fiery/icy death.

        To know that one’s bone density and god knows what else will be negatively impacted due to upstream fuckups must really suck.
