How do two NASA astronauts that are currently stranded on the ISS make their way back to earth? Short answer would be ... they wait. They wait until 2025 and Elong Musk's SpaceX to finally get back on terra firma and head for home and probably never ever wanting to head back to space for a prolonged stay on any dang space station. The issue, and an ongoing issue for NASA, is the utter engineering disaster that is the Boeing 'Starliner' space capsule. Why NASA let this death trap fly astronauts into orbit is a question that haunts NASA like a blood splatter that can't be washed off one's hands following the act of committing astronauts to launch. NASA knew the 'Starliner' was an engineering flop and still allowed Boeing to attest their capsule's ready for launch. More than likely and the next session of Congress that shall commence January 2025, NASA brain trust guys and gals along with the Boeing corporate gangsters will be commanded to appear before a Congressional Committee investigate how and why NASA pissed away billions of taxpayer dollars on a space program that will, more than likely, burn up during Earth reentry. That reentry will provide a spectacular air show for anyone that happens to live within viewing distance of the 'Starliner' reentry. A really spiffy fireworks display would be cheaper but what the hell ... NASA has money to burn. American taxpayer money to burn. Now for Friday machined artware.

I suppose the two stranded NASA astronauts could jump from the ISS but, they wouldn't hardly even make a light streak on reentry. 😐
