SpaceX comes to the rescue of NASA astronauts: They will return to Earth in 2025

It has been announced that two NASA astronauts on the Starliner spacecraft, which encountered problems and could not land on Earth, will not be able to return until next year, dealing a blow to US aviation giant Boeing, which has faced backlash in recent years due to issues with its passenger planes.

Intensive efforts are underway to resolve technical problems that arose during the test mission of astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been at the International Space Station since June 6 and were originally scheduled for a one-week stay.

RETURN VIA SPACEX UNDER CONSIDERATION

In a statement made by NASA yesterday, it was reported that the problems experienced with Starliner might be more serious than initially thought, and that the return of the two astronauts to Earth via a shuttle belonging to Boeing's rival, SpaceX, is being evaluated.

125 MILLION DOLLARS SPENT ON UNPLANNED EXPENSES

While the return of the two astronauts to Earth is expected to take place in 2025, this situation has dealt a new blow to US aviation giant Boeing. Boeing, which has been the target of criticism and whose safety has been questioned for some time due to a series of problems with its passenger planes, has also suffered a loss of reputation in space.

Boeing, which has spent an extra 125 million dollars on unplanned expenses for the Starliner spacecraft, had stated that helium leaks were causing problems in the shuttle.
