Yeah, that's the spin. But the truth is, the fuckin thing didn't work! They didn't have to blow it up, it was already way out over the gulf. It fuckin blew up on its own.

Boeing's latest potential scandal is out of this world - literally.

Its Starliner spacecraft - which carried two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) last week - is unable to undock after several faults were found on the ship.

Teams have discovered five different leaks in the craft's propulsion system which would navigate the craft through space as it returns to Earth.

The astronauts were set to return on June 14, but that has been delayed until June 22 while Boeing and NASA scramble to fix issues, leaving the astronauts stranded until then.

Now, experts have said that NASA could be forced to launch a rescue mission that would be a highly embarrassing blow for the embattled Boeing which is dealing with spate of issues plaguing its commercial jets.

NASA's spacesuits are aging, and two separate spacesuit-related incidents over the past couple of weeks highlight just how bad the problem has gotten. Here's a rundown of what's going on with NASA's spacesuit (called EMUs), why the situation is so bad, and what is being done about it.

It came down flawlessly, now the crew is stuck up there until February. Boeing should have had a little more faith, baby...

I don't know how they do it, I would be losing my mind from claustrophobia

I'm happy right here on earth, no tiny submarines either
