Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams — who went up to the ISS in June for what was supposed to be an eight-day mission — will have to wait another six months until a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft can carry them safely home, because their original ride is leaking helium and has problems with its thrusters. The Florida-based staffer with Boeing’s space program said the decision was the latest blow to the aerospace giant, which is already suffering backlash from a slew of commercial flight incidents earlier this year. 7 Boeing employees are “humiliated” after NASA announced that SpaceX will help bring stranded astronauts Suni Williams (left) and Butch Wilmore home.

This just made it, like, 100 times worse,” said one worker, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “We hate SpaceX,” he added. “We talk s–t about them all the time, and now they’re bailing us out.” Explore More Multiple Delta passengers suffer ruptured eardrums, bloody noses after pressurization issues above 10K feet Group seeks records on space chief Kamala Harris’ work on astronauts stuck in orbit
