Let us know any feedback you have in our survey!

Over the past few months, you may have seen headlines that two astronauts are currently stuck in space.

Now to be clear, NASA and Boeing have really tried to deny that these astronauts are stuck or stranded or whatever word you want to use that implies they aren’t able to leave.

But we do know one thing. The two astronauts were only meant to be in space for eight days, but now they will be there for at least eight months.

So how did this all unfold? We are going to get to the bottom of it in today’s deep dive.
