Astronauts stranded on the International Space Station (Source: NASA)

Overseas Network, August 26. According to the New York Post, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said on August 24 that two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station will return to Earth on the Dragon spacecraft of the US Space Exploration Technology Company in February 2025. Some Boeing employees said that this is a "humiliation" for Boeing.

According to the report, an anonymous Boeing employee said that the rescue of the astronauts by a rival company made many Boeing employees feel humiliated. "This is shameful. I feel embarrassed and shocked." He also claimed that the incident caused low morale at Boeing and worried that it would affect the company's reputation in the aerospace field.

On June 5, 2024, Boeing's "Starliner" spacecraft carried two American astronauts and then arrived at the International Space Station. According to the plan, the two astronauts should return to Earth on June 14, but due to problems such as thruster failure and helium leakage, the return date has been repeatedly postponed. At present, the two have been stranded in the International Space Station for more than 2 months. (Overseas Network Yang Jia)
