Astronauts' Return Delayed Until February 2025

Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have been unexpectedly extended on the International Space Station (ISS) due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, originally set to return them to Earth. They will now return on a SpaceX Dragon capsule in February 2025, eight months past their initial eight-day mission. Concurrently, NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick captured stunning footage of the northern lights from the ISS, a rare experience even for veteran spacefarers. The new film 'Slingshot,' starring Casey Affleck, centers on astronauts traveling to Saturn's moon Titan for clean energy, exploring the psychological toll of space travel and the risky 'slingshot' maneuver. These recent developments underscore the unpredictability and psychological challenges of space missions.
