Nobody was stranded. It's amazing how effective lying to people has become.


They weren't stranded, they just had no way of going home which was totally and completely planned for.


You really, really need to read about the actual situation before commenting. They always had a way of coming home at any point if they needed to. There was a literal whole planning session, all publicly available on Nasa's media channels detailing in great depth the steps that were taken prior to Starliner departing to ensure there was always a guaranteed safe way to get them home, even in the event of an entire station evac.

As I say, it's amazing how effective lying to people has become that you genuinely bought that total load of crap that they were stranded.


But they did have a way of going home, but chose not to take it.
