The two astronauts onboard Boeing‘s first manned spaceship were supposed to be home already but have had their push date pushed back yet again, this time without a new date proposed.

Since then, flight commander Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams have been putting out various fires, including helium leaks. Now, all but one thruster is back online.
