Astronauts Stranded on ISS Due to Boeing Starliner Issues

TL;DR Summary
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are stuck on the International Space Station due to thruster problems and helium leaks in Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. The issues have delayed their return, potentially until the next crew switchover in August. While Boeing and NASA are framing the delay as an opportunity to test systems for longer missions, the recurring problems with Starliner raise concerns about the program's reliability, especially compared to SpaceX's successful Crew Dragon missions.
