00:00Right now Boeing Starliner test astronauts are stranded in space and
00:07they will be until early next year after a malfunction in several systems left
00:11their spacecraft too dangerous to operate. That means their eight-day
00:15mission in space will end up being around eight months but now the story
00:19gets even weirder. They say they've been hearing weird and mysterious sounds
00:23coming from their currently docked spacecraft. NASA astronaut Bill Wilmore
00:27recently radioed Mission Control asking them quote, I've got a question about
00:31Starliner. There's a strange noise coming from the speaker. I don't know what's
00:35making it. Here's what it sounded like.
00:41Astronaut Chris Hadfield posted the clip to X writing in his post, there are
00:45several noises I'd prefer not to hear inside my spaceship including this one
00:49that Boeing Starliner is now making. A harrowing notion coming from such an
00:57experienced International Space Station dweller. So what's going on? Well NASA has
01:01gotten to the bottom of it saying the sound is simply feedback from a speaker
01:05caused by an audio configuration and it is now stopped.
