NASA is set to determine the fate of two stranded astronauts tomorrow, after their ride home aboard Boeing's Starliner was deemed too risky.
Wilmore and Williams are reportedly unable to hitch a lift with a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which regularly transports humans and cargo to the orbital outpost.
......The spacesuits Wilmore and Williams arrived in are only suitable for Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, and will not work with the Dragon vessel.The Dragon spacecraft has its own range of spacesuits that it can operate with.
Not to sound like an idiot but why couldn't they have suitable spacex suits delivered on an earlier supply flight? I have read they could be up there until February.
