The space capsule's first crewed flight has experienced five failures of its 28 manoeuvring thrusters, five leaks of helium and a slow-moving propellant valve that signal unfixed issues from past flights.

    I find it weird this story hasn't been getting more media attention, you think two astronauts being stranded in space would be BIG news but everyone is just sharing coconut memes.

      They've never been "stranded" it was just who was going to bring them back that was in question. The media got called out on using that for sensationalist headlines at one point and I think that's when they dropped it.
