A Mission That Was Supposed to Last Days... Turned Into a Historic Ordeal in Space
When veteran astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams launched aboard Boeing's Starliner on June 5, 2024, they expected to spend just eight days in space. Instead, technical failures turned their mission into an unplanned endurance test that left them stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for nearly a year.
In this gripping story, follow Wilmore and Williams as they navigate the uncertainty of their extended stay, relying on their training, teamwork, and resilience. Witness how NASA scrambled to find a solution, how Boeing's spacecraft failures rocked the space industry, and how SpaceX ultimately became their lifeline home.
