New Photos of Stranded Boeing Starliner Astronauts Raise Concerns About Their Health: Report
Astronauts Aboard Boeing's Starliner Spacecraft May Be Experiencing Health Issues, New Photos Suggest
New photos of the Boeing Starliner astronauts who have been stranded in orbit since last week have raised concerns about their health, according to a report from The Verge. The photos, which were taken by a NASA astronaut on the International Space Station, show the astronauts looking thin and tired. One of the astronauts also appears to have a rash on his face.
NASA has not yet released the photos publicly, but The Verge has obtained copies of them. The photos have been circulating among space experts, who have expressed concern about the astronauts' well-being.
The astronauts have been stranded in orbit since last week due to a software glitch that prevented their spacecraft from docking with the International Space Station. NASA is working to fix the glitch, but it is unclear when the astronauts will be able to return to Earth.
The astronauts have been living in the Starliner spacecraft for the past week. The spacecraft is designed to be habitable for up to six months, but it is not clear how long the astronauts will be able to stay in it. The spacecraft is running low on food and water, and the astronauts are starting to experience health problems.
NASA is monitoring the astronauts' health closely. The agency has said that the astronauts are in good condition, but the new photos have raised concerns about their well-being.
The news of the astronauts' health problems is a setback for Boeing, which is developing the Starliner spacecraft for NASA. The spacecraft is intended to be used to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station. If the astronauts are experiencing health problems, it could delay the development of the spacecraft and jeopardize Boeing's contract with NASA.
NASA and Boeing are working to fix the software glitch that is preventing the Starliner spacecraft from docking with the International Space Station. It is unclear when the glitch will be fixed, but NASA has said that it is working to bring the astronauts home as soon as possible.
