How did the extended stay of the astronauts on the ISS affect the research planned for their mission, and what were the broader implications for the space program?

The extended stay of Wilmore and Williams on the ISS, resulting from the Starliner malfunction, underscores the risks inherent in space exploration and the need for robust spacecraft reliability. This situation also highlights the resilience and adaptability of the astronauts, who conducted 150 experiments and 900 hours of research during their unplanned extended mission. Their experience will inform future moon missions.
