Two NASA astronauts named Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, are currently stuck in space.

The pair launched in the Boeing Starliner earlier this year. 

Malfunctions have delayed their return from what was originally meant to be an 8 day trip to the International Space Station. Now, they may not be back on Earth until February.

And – most galling for Boeing: They may have to hitch a ride with its competitor, SpaceX. So, what exactly happened with Boeing’s new spacecraft? And what will it take to get the Boeing Starliner back on Earth?

Guests:

  • Jim Hermanson, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington

  • Dr. Wendy N. Whitman Cobb, Professor of Strategy and Security Studies at the School of Advanced Air and Space Studies
