Boeing's Starliner: Astronauts Stay Positive Despite Technical Problems in Space.

Two astronauts are on board Boeing's Starliner capsule, which is designed to take people to space. They are supposed to be back on Earth, but the capsule has had some problems.

The astronauts launched into space last month and arrived at the International Space Station. However, problems with the capsule's thrusters and leaks have delayed their return.

Despite the issues, the astronauts remain optimistic about the Starliner's ability to bring them back safely. They are enjoying their extended stay in space and assisting the crew at the space station.

Engineers are conducting tests on the ground to understand and address the thruster problems. They are also investigating the cause of the helium leaks.

Boeing and NASA are committed to ensuring the astronauts' safe return before SpaceX sends up another crew. They are confident that the Starliner can return the astronauts safely, even in an emergency.
