The two NASA astronauts gave a press conference a week after their problem-riddled Boeing capsule returned to Earth, leaving them behind.
The massive work stoppage is expected to halt jet production as workers send their union back to the bargaining table for a better deal.
As long as the strike lasts, it will deprive the company of much-needed cash that it gets from delivering new planes to airlines.
NASA determined it was too risky for Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to make their way back to Earth, delaying their return until next year.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
Astronaut Butch Wilmore radioed Mission Control for help identifying the sound, which was captured in an audio recording.
The pair will catch a ride home early next year with SpaceX instead of using Boeing's capsule, the agency said.
The Justice Department reached an agreement in which Boeing will plead guilty to a fraud charge for misleading regulators before two 737 Max jetliners crashed, killing 346 people.
The trip was initially supposed to be a weeklong test drive of Boeings Starliner spacecraft.
United Airlines said it is "investigating what caused this event."
The Justice Department says Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge.
