(TMZ) – Two astronauts stranded in space for more than 60 days may have to keep orbiting the Earth until early 2025 … because their Boeing spacecraft appears unable to bring them home. NASA is now saying Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams may need to be rescued from the International Space Station by a spacecraft from a rival company … Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

The pair took a Boeing Starline spacecraft to the ISS in June but the maiden voyage has been a disaster … with helium leaks and thruster failures preventing them from taking the spaceship home.

Butch and Suni were only supposed to be on the ISS for a week … but it’s looking increasingly likely they will be up there until sometime next year.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
