It was thought that the Boeing Starliner would return with the Sunitas after fixing the mechanical fault. But the Boeing Starliner is returning to earth without them.

Two astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams are currently trapped in space. Sunita and her astronaut partner are spending the day at the International Space Station.
Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams
Astronaut Sunita Williams of Indian origin left for space last June. Sunita Williams squeezed into Elon Musk's Boeing Starliner spacecraft with Butch Wilmore preparing for a space tour for just 8-10 days.

But the two astronauts are stuck in space due to the mechanical failure of the spacecraft. The safest approach is to leave the astronauts in space without taking any risks if the spacecraft has a mechanical failure.
At first it was thought that the Boeing Starliner would return with the Sunitas after fixing the mechanical fault. Later it is known that the spacecraft will return to earth without taking them. The spacecraft will return to Earth in early September.

Helium gas was leaking from the spaceship named Boeing Starliner. NASA thought it would be dangerous to return to Earth in that state.
The return of Boeing Starliner without Sunitas is causing huge losses to the company. Boeing suffered a loss of at least $12.5 billion, which in Indian currency is about Tk 1048 crore.

There is no way of communication, step by step death! But why do millions of people want to cross the 'gates of hell'?
However, there are sensational allegations against Boeing about the mechanical defects of the spacecraft. NASA and Boeing already knew that helium was coming out of the vents, according to some in space research.
The American space agency is not reporting the possibility of Sunita and her companion Barry Butch Wilmore returning to Earth right now.

NASA will send another spacecraft to bring them back to Earth in February next year.
Elon Musk's own space research company SpaceX will bring them back in the Dragon capsule, according to the American space agency.
Sunita and Butch will work at the International Space Station for the next six months. They will spend this long time for research in space.

As there is no continuous pull of gravity on the body, the muscle and bone density of the human body decreases rapidly in space. Muscle density can decrease by up to 20 percent after just two weeks. It can be up to 30 percent in six months.
Apart from this, the amount of red blood cells decreases rapidly in space. In that case, physical problems like anemia may also occur.
Research shows that astronauts lose 300,000 red blood cells every second instead of 200,000 every second while in space.
Sunitara has been in space for more than two and a half months. Earlier, Sunita had participated in space missions in 2006 and 2012. In all, he has the experience of spending 322 days in space.
They are exercising for several hours every day to prevent bone and muscle loss. Doctors are also taking care of their health.
Sunita and Butch sleep at least 8 hours per day according to NASA report. Nutritious food and drinks are provided so that they do not lose weight.
NASA's Frank Ruby is the longest-serving astronaut in space. He spent 371 days in space.
The record for longest continuous time in space is held by Russian cosmonaut Valery Polyakov. Since the mid-1990s, he has spent 437 days aboard the Mir space station.
