It is certainly unfair system

Why has Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan raised the pertinent question of limiting the UN Security Council permanent members to a total of five only?  This should be changed, as he appears to think now. He did not pause to insist on such a limited approach.  It inspires no trust at all. He did not deem it a fitting approach in present-day's wholly different context.  His strongly worded, stirring speech indicated his outlook upon this particularly vital matter in these tempestuous days.  Distinctly critiquing the prevailing situation, he made it quite clear that there was basically no sense in persisting with a system that places pressure on bending before the five selected countries. More than 190 countries have been bearing this intense pressure unavoidably.   It is really not a fair system at this cutting-edge time.

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.
