Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who traveled to the International Space Station on board Boeing's ill-fated Starliner last summer, are still stuck there, patiently awaiting their ride back home.

And while SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently blamed the Biden administration for the more-than-eight-month delay, it sounds like his space company has encountered a serious issue on the complex quest to return them home.

As Ars Technica's Eric Berger reports, engineers ran into battery problems plaguing the fifth-and-final generation Crew Dragon spacecraft, dubbed C213, which was supposed to carry a crew of new astronauts to the station sometime next month, finally allowing Wilmore and Williams to return.

Instead, it now sounds like SpaceX's current-generation "Endurance" spacecraft, which returned from the space station in March, will be used for that journey instead. If the trip is successful, Wilmore and Williams will come home as early as March 19 -- roughly two weeks earlier than expected, so it's not making a particularly immense difference at this point.

In other words, Musk and president Donald Trump have both politicized the issue -- despite SpaceX and NASA's ongoing struggles to develop the C213 Crew Dragon spacecraft being the messiest part of the return mission at this point.
