Stranded Nasa astronauts hold press conference from International Space Station | BBC News

Stranded Nasa astronauts Barry 'Butch' Wilmore and Sunita Williams say they feel "grateful" to spend more time in space, despite difficulties.

The two gave a news conference about their experience of being stuck on the International Space Station for months.

The two Americans, who arrived on the ISS in June, have been unable to get home because of a problem with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. The Starliner returned to Earth earlier this month 'uncrewed' - or with no humans on board - after the journey was deemed too risky for astronauts.

Nasa says Wilmore and Williams will be brought back to Earth on a SpaceX Dragon craft next year.
