Josh Aoraki: Stardome astronomer on two astronauts being stranded in space while their return is being repaired - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station have been told they will be stuck in space indefinitely. 

Test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams travelled up to the orbiting lab in Boeing’s space capsule seven weeks ago, and were meant to spend a week there. 

The delay in their return is due to ongoing repairs on the capsule. 

Stardome astronomer Josh Aoraki joined Heather du Plessis-Allan.
