NASA's two stuck astronauts just got their space mission extended again. That means they won't be back until spring, 10 months after rocketing into orbit on Boeing's Starliner capsule.
Some reporters began calling the astronauts “stranded” or “stuck” on the ISS. NASA and Boeing stress, however, that this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Its all about phrasing. They are just having an extended layover because their flight is delayed. Boeing also provides courtesy, in-flight door removal.

They’re pining for the fjords.
