Boeing's latest potential scandal is out of this world - literally.
Its Starliner spacecraft - which carried two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) last week - is unable to undock after several faults were found on the ship.
Teams have discovered five different leaks in the craft's propulsion system which would navigate the craft through space as it returns to Earth.
The astronauts were set to return on June 14, but that has been delayed until June 22 while Boeing and NASA scramble to fix issues, leaving the astronauts stranded until then.
Now, experts have said that NASA could be forced to launch a rescue mission that would be a highly embarrassing blow for the embattled Boeing which is dealing with spate of issues plaguing its commercial jets.
Why Does SpaceX Use 33 Engines While NASA Used Just 5?
The race to the moon is back on, but why does SpaceX's Starship & super heavy booster need 33 engines when NASA's Saturn V rocket, which went to the moon six times 55 years ago only needed five. We look at what has changed since then and why many smaller engines and all the extra complexity that comes with them seem to be the way forward for the modern space industry.

The James Webb Space Telescope has just shattered our understanding of the early universe! For the first time ever, Webb has spotted an object beyond the Dark Ages—the mysterious period before the first stars lit up the cosmos. But what it found is far more shocking than scientists expected! This discovery is rewriting what we thought we knew about the formation of galaxies, black holes, and the evolution of the universe itself. Could this be evidence of the earliest structures in the cosmos, or is it something completely unexpected? Join us as we break down this mind-blowing revelation with stunning visuals and expert analysis.
Our galaxy is positioned near the center of a massive cosmic void known as the KBC void or the Local Hole. This void, which stretches an incredible 2 billion light-years across, challenges some of the most basic ideas in cosmology. The existence of such a vast empty space raises big questions about the Big Bang, how galaxies are spread out, and the very nature of the universe’s expansion.
