Two US astronauts are still in the International Space Station since almost a month.

The mission was only supposed to last eight days, yet almost a month after their departure, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams are still in space.

The Boeing Starliner’s spacecraft in which they were traveling accumulated problems.

Takeoff was delayed twice due to a faulty valve and then a helium leak.

On June 5, the ship was finally able to take off but the problems continued. Thrusters failed and other helium leaks were detected. Since then, 4 of the 5 propellers have been repaired but the leaks continue.

The astronauts’ return to earth has been postponed several times.
