Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams hit the six-month mark in space Thursday with two more to go.

The pair rocketed into orbit on June 5 , the first to ride Boeing ’s new Starliner crew capsule.

They arrived at the International Space Station the next day , only after overcoming a cascade of thruster failures and helium leaks.

NASA deemed the capsule too risky for a return flight, so it will be February before their mission comes to a close.

“We are certainly looking forward to February !!” she wrote.
