I wonder how much money they are getting paid while stuck, I’d imagine it’s gotta be pretty significant.

They will probably owe Boeing money in all honesty.

I assumed that the NASA astronaut corps have a standard salary whether the astronauts get to fly or not. Are they only paid while in space?

Getting paid full 24/7 overtime, perhaps. Not that they don’t deserve it.

Gilligan’s Planet was an underrated gem.

An excellent idea, with each season finale being another failed return trip that gets delayed, and then the next season all their conditions are significantly worse until they resort to canabalism

No, we keep rebooting it every 3 seasons like Power Rangers or something.

In the end we will have 15 or so astronaut teams on different space stations.
