science

The return of four astronauts from a 235-day International Space Station (ISS) mission concluded on October 25, 2024, with SpaceX's Crew-8 capsule landing in the Gulf of Mexico after delays caused by Hurricane Milton and significant issues with Boeing's Starliner capsule, which recently returned to Earth without crew for safety concerns. These delays showcased the struggles of Boeing, which has incurred significant losses on its Starliner program (totaling approximately $1.85 billion) due to technical problems [15]. One NASA astronaut was hospitalized post-mission for precautionary evaluation, highlighting the physical strains of prolonged spaceflight [14][10]. Meanwhile, China announced plans for its 14th manned spaceflight, emphasizing a competitive global space environment where advancements and failures are closely intertwined [13] [11].
