A tale of survival has been unfolding miles away from earth aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Nearly 250 miles above our planet, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore, 61, and Sunita Williams, 59, are currently relying on ingenuity and soup made from recycled urine to endure their longer-than-expected stay.
Their mission was originally planned as an eight-day journey in June. However, things took an unexpected turn when the Boeing Starliner, meant to bring them home, suffered helium leaks and thruster malfunctions. It was deemed unsafe for them to make the return trip.
