That's exactly what happened to Boeing Starliner.

And you really don't want things to go wrong,
loading
in that kind of extreme environment.
loading
Starliner's first crew was all smiles when they docked at the space station in early June.
loading
We're just happy as can be to be up in space.
loading
But this week, NASA announced it's delaying their return to Earth until at least June 26th.
loading
Starliner has suffered four helium leaks and five failures of its thrusters.
loading
NASA wants time to figure out what's wrong.
loading

loading
The launch of this mission was scrubbed multiple times by technical problems.
loading

loading

loading
The good news, the problems don't impact the parts of Starliner needed
loading
for the perilous re-entry into Earth's atmosphere,
loading
and the ship could theoretically spend up to
loading
45 days in space if problems persist.
loading
Those delays are really a problem for the engineers back on Earth.
loading
For the astronauts, it means a little more time to sit back and enjoy the view.
