Two American astronauts, Butch Wilmore and the Indian-origin Sunita Williams have been stuck at the International Space Station since June 5. What was supposed to be a week-long stay at the ISS quickly turned into a trip with uncertainty and a long wait to return home after the brand new, yet problem-plagued Boeing Starliner encountered technical issues during the journey. Boeing Starliner is the only capsule capable of ferrying astronauts to the ISS in space. The one Indian astronaut likely to travel to the ISS on a NASA mission this year, will also probably board the same Starliner. News9 Plus decodes if these problems will affect India's space mission.
