Boeing's Starliner is stuck at the International Space Station — for now.
The two astronauts on board arrived at the ISS on June 6 and were scheduled to spend eight days in space.
NASA and Boeing announced on Friday that their return date had been pushed back again.

The return of two astronauts on board Boeing's first crewed commercial spacecraft has been delayed — again.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams went up to the International Space Station on June 6 after a series of delays that postponed the craft's launch by a month.
