Why didn't Boeing have a contingency plan for this? Not a lot of forward thinking going on there.

To be fair, they know the state of the world; I'd probably choose to stay in space.

60 years of spaceflight and we can still barely get to orbit.

I'm sure they're just thrilled. We're probably going to learn all kinds of things about what happens to a human during an extended spaceflight from their ruined bodies.

Some reporters began calling the astronauts "stranded" or "stuck" on the ISS. NASA and Boeing stress, however, that this couldn't be further from the truth.

Its all about phrasing. They are just having an extended layover because their flight is delayed. Boeing also provides courtesy, in-flight door removal.
