Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore to Stay in Space Until 2025

- Astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore, who arrived at the ISS on Boeing's Starliner in June, will remain in space until February 2025 due to helium leaks and thruster failures.
- Boeing assures there's 'no increased risk' in bringing them back on the Starliner, but NASA is considering a SpaceX flight for their return.
- The ISS, spanning 356 feet, includes six sleeping quarters, two bathrooms, a gym, and a 360-degree view bay window, housing nine astronauts currently.
- The station's oxygen generation and recycling systems ensure a sustainable environment, converting exhaled CO2 and urine into usable resources.
- Recent supply missions have provided the astronauts with essentials, including personal clothing and favorite snacks like Sunita Williams' Nutter Butter spread.
