NASA has decided it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule. They’ll have to wait until February for a ride home with SpaceX.

    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.
