Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore Face Potential Vapourisation Threat | Firstpost America Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are stranded in space, facing a dire situation after a thruster malfunction on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. What was meant to be a brief eight-day mission aboard the International Space Station has turned into a two-month ordeal. NASA now faces a critical decision: risk the astronauts' lives by attempting re-entry with the faulty capsule or launch a rescue mission. Former military Space System Commander Rudy Ridolfi warns that a misaligned re-entry could lead to their vapourisation, making this a potentially catastrophic chapter in space exploration. Their fate hangs in the balance.
