NASA astronauts extend their stay at the International Space Station due to delays with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
Reading
Two astronauts will stay longer at the space station. They were supposed to come back in June but their capsule had some problems.
The astronauts flew in a capsule named Starliner, which is made by Boeing. NASA is working with Boeing to fix the problems so the astronauts can come home.
The problems with Starliner are with its thrusters, which help it move in space. Engineers are looking at a spare thruster to see what went wrong.
Starliner also had leaks, and engineers are working on fixing those too. They will do more tests on the capsule while it's still at the space station.
This was Boeing's first time sending astronauts to the space station. Another company, SpaceX, has been flying astronauts since 2020.
