Intense passion for swimming

Finding a lanky boy in a dark red T-shirt wandering around as though he had just returned from his regular daily swimming practice was obviously a total surprise. This  was not the case at all. He can't explain why he decided on routine swimming, despite his considerable height. He didn't appear to realise that the chlorine in the water would turn his face dark. He and two other older boys were swimming without realising this important fact. This will continue for a minimum period of one full month, as was revealed. Every day, these three lads go to a nearby pool to practice swimming. But the younger one did not go for the usual practice  on the particular day since he had developed a slight cough, which was definitely learned following his smart disclosure in the night.  He seemed to be unaware of the fact that chlorine in the water would darken his fair face.

NASA stranded astronauts' fate hangs in balance


Uncertainty hangs over NASA's two stuck astronauts in space has caused concern for America. Though it attempts to send a special mission to bring back Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore as early as possible. 

American astronaut Sunita Williams went to space to return in one week but she got stuck owing to her faulty spacecraft. It has now been more than two months. 

There is a unanimous feeling among space scientists that only Russia and the US can help her in a safe return to Earth. 

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams along with Butch Wilmore has been stranded in space. The situation is extremely critical right now. 

Anomalies in the Boeing Starliner compel us to be cautious. Wary of the risks involved in the return journey can be more dangerous than the launch itself. 

Boeing has been conducting ground tests to prove the spacecraft’s safety, but there are certain drawbacks still. Its faulty propulsion system raises safety concerns for a crewed return flight. 

NASA plans to bring back the astronauts in Elon Musk’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission, to be scheduled for late September, but then they will return aboard Crew-9 early next year.

Crew Dragon might be used to bring them back, but human spaceflight is complex and requires careful planning and scheduling. 

In the meantime, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and top officials are set to decide on the return schedule for the two astronauts.
