'Lost' in space: Why two astronauts can't come home
Manage episode 436344924 series 2444251
When two American astronauts took off from earth on June 5, it was meant to be a triumph. Not just for the astronauts, who would spend a coveted eight days on the International Space Station, but also for Boeing, the company that created the spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the station for research.
Almost three months later, the astronauts are still stuck in space, and unlikely to come back down to Earth until next year.
Today, digital foreign editor, Chris Zappone, on what caused the mistake, and what effect the incident is having on the new space race.
