According to a report by CCTV International News on August 22, citing US media, NASA said when assessing the risk of returning to Earth for the stranded astronauts, the space suits of the two American astronauts are only suitable for Boeing's "Starliner" spacecraft and are not compatible with SpaceX's "Dragon" spacecraft. The two may stay in space for even longer. The two astronauts arrived at the International Space Station on June 6 on the "Starliner" spacecraft. They were supposed to stay for only 8 days, but due to problems such as thruster failure and helium leakage in the spacecraft, the two have been stranded in space until now. NASA said a few days ago that the two astronauts may have to wait until February next year to return to Earth on the "Dragon" spacecraft. (Dongfang.com · Zong Xiang Video Zhang Li)
