00:00The Gilligan's Island of space travel is going to continue a while.
00:05A trip to the space station that was supposed to be 10 days,
00:09now looks like it could last for 10 months for astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
00:16The trouble began in June when several safety issues were discovered
00:20in the Boeing Starliner that delivered the pair.
00:24It was forced to return without the astronauts,
00:27and that's when Elon Musk's SpaceX stepped in to get them home,
00:31but now they too are running into setbacks.
00:34NASA now says the SpaceX Crew 10, with two empty seats,
00:39will be launching to the space station no earlier than March of 2025.
