Editing Astronauts Stuck in Space (section)

=== The Reality of Being Stuck in Space ===
Being "stuck" in space can mean a variety of things. Astronauts could be stranded on a malfunctioning spacecraft, unable to return to Earth due to system failures or an inability to dock with their space station or vehicle. Alternatively, it could mean astronauts encountering life-threatening situations like air supply failure, loss of communication with mission control, or any number of other critical issues in the hostile environment of space.

Space is a hostile and unforgiving environment, where every contingency must be planned for. That's why NASA, SpaceX, and other space agencies invest in thorough training and contingencies for potential emergencies. Even so, no plan can account for every scenario. If something goes wrong, astronauts may find themselves in situations where their survival depends on both their training and the advanced technology surrounding them.
