Al Jazeera English Chinese astronauts: Three crew stranded in space after capsule damage

Getting stuck in space sounds like the plotline from a science fiction film—but that’s what’s happened to three Chinese astronauts who were due to return to Earth last week. The Shenzhou-20 crew has been living on China’s Tiangong space station since April. But damage to the spacecraft caused by junk floating in orbit has delayed their return.
