NASA astronauts stuck in space since June give four-word statement Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have been stuck on the International Space station since last year - after a planned eight day trip descended into chaos.
But, following a myriad of problems, including fuel leaks, it was decided in September that the craft wasn't safe enough to bring them home - meaning it left the space station without them.
Due to delays in the next crew scheduled to take over operations in the ISS, originally slated for February, it'll be at least two more months until Butch and Suni return to Earth.
So, while spending seven month floating around might seem like a claustrophobe's worst nightmare - it's not actually unusual, even though it wasn't planned.
According to the BBC, most space missions last around six months, with some even extending to a year.
