NASA and Boeing plan to spend the next few weeks conducting tests on the ground in order to better understand issues with the Starliner spacecraft's thrusters before giving its crew the go-ahead to fly back to Earth. But, officials insisted in a press conference Friday afternoon, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are not "stranded" on the International Space Station. "We're not in a rush to come home," said Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
Starliner has been docked with the ISS since June 6 for what was meant to be a 10-day flight test all in all. During its approach of the orbiting lab, however, the craft experienced problems with five of its thrusters, and a known helium leak appeared to worsen. NASA and Boeing have been working together to evaluate the issues ever since. On Friday, representatives for the two said they aren't yet setting a date for the return flight, and will instead wait until the ground tests have been completed and all analyses run. The first thruster tests, which will be conducted at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, are expected to begin as soon as Tuesday.
It was initially stated that Starliner could only stay docked at the ISS for a maximum of 45 days due to limitations with its batteries, but Stich said during the conference that these batteries are being recharged by the space station, so this can be extended. "I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space," Stich said. "Our plan is to cont

There are plenty of Lego sets that feature astronauts, but now there are Lego bricks made out of the stuff that astronauts find out there in the void. The Danish brickmaker has teamed up with the European Space Agency (ESA) to make Lego pieces from actual meteorite dust. Pretty cool, right? They are on display at several Lego store locations until September 20, including the big 5th Avenue branch in Manhattan.
This project isn't just for giggles, though it is pretty fun. It's a proof of concept to show how astronauts could use moondust to build lunar structures. Consider the sheer amount of energy and money required to haul up building materials from Earth to the Moon. It would be a game changer to, instead, build everything from pre-existing lunar materials.
There's a layer of rock and mineral deposits at the surface of the Mo

 NASA will take ownership of the deorbit vehicle once completed, and will operate it throughout the mission sometime in 2030. While guiding the ISS into the atmosphere, it is expected that both the deorbit vehicle and the ISS - which is about the size of a six-bedroom, two-bath house - will burn up safely before ever reaching the ground. Should any debris make it to the Earth's surface, it will land safely in a region of the South Pacific Ocean regularly used for deorbiting spacecraft.
