Recently, two United States astronauts Barry · Wilmore and Suni · Williams trapped on the International Space Station have become the focus of global attention.
From the recent video connection, you can also feel the seriousness of the matter.
Although the 59-year-old female astronaut Williams has an explosive hairstyle that is eye-catching, although she speaks little, she has a serious face.
And Barry ·, a 61-year-old spokesman, looked even more nervous.

Originally, on June 14, the two returned to Earth on a starliner spacecraft, but who knew that the spacecraft was faulty and could not dock with the space station. And there is more than one place where the ship is broken. This is also the manned debut of this spacecraft, it is really a slap in the face.
The return time has been postponed again and again, and there is no exact date so far, which is how the two astronauts are suffering?
It is not known how long the food on the ISS will last?
What happens if the ship's malfunction is never fixed?
There may be the following avenues:
An emergency rescue plan may be activated by the ground control center.
This includes mobilizing nearby spacecraft for a space rescue mission or sending a rescue team to the space station with equipment.
However, such rescue operations face huge technical challenges and risks, such as high-precision docking of space flight, effective supply of resources, etc.
Some netizens think of the mainland's space station, which involves international space cooperation, and there are also factors in the relationship between countries. Moreover, the docking of spacecraft and the compatibility of systems, etc., in addition to complexity, also have huge risks.
From the perspective of astronaut survival, it is necessary to rely on the existing resources in the spacecraft to survive. For example, food, water, etc. are strictly managed to prolong the survival time as much as possible, and to buy rescue time for the ground.
Beyond that is the psychological level of self-adjustment and management, of course, the final decision is food, if the storage of these foods are limited, really depleted, then only leave fate to God.
After all, the story of "Gravity" can only appear in movies.
Netizens commented:
There are all kinds of people who say anything, and there are many who see jokes, but these two seem to be quite innocent.
But on the whole, it is still necessary to put a question mark on the quality of Boeing's products.
Airplanes have such and such problems, and the spacecraft does not seem to be very reliable now, will Boeing's planes dare to sit in the future?
Write at the end:
In addition, according to one expert, if the Starliner spacecraft is really irreparable, then if the United States is really determined, it has the SpaceX manned Dragon spacecraft as an alternative to ensure the return of astronauts.
