Overview
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, known as the 'stuck astronauts,' celebrated six months in space amidst technical issues that extended their mission. Initially launched on June 5 for a weeklong test aboard Boeing's Starliner, thruster malfunctions and helium leaks warranted their prolonged stay.
