ISS rescue mission may take TWO MONTHS as astronauts stranded by mystery leak

Three International Space Station crew may be stranded until February to be rescued as their spacecraft has a leak and it may not be safe to use for their return to Earth.

Russia and NASA are working out the extent of the damage to the Soyuz MS-22 capsule which has a leak and two Russians along with an American are relying on it to take them home.

The spacecraft started losing coolant on December 14 which has caused the problem and so a replacement may be needed to be sent out into space which wouldn’t arrive until February.
