Washington, DC:

Astronaut Sunita Williams, who recently returned from a nine-month mission at the International Space Station (ISS) alongside astronaut Butch Wilmore, shared the most challenging aspect of being stranded in space. Williams, whose mission was supposed to last eight days but extended to over 270 days, revealed that the uncertainty surrounding the timeline of her return was the toughest part for her and her family waiting back on Earth.

During a press conference from the ISS, Williams expressed, “The hardest part is having the folks on the ground uncertain about our return date. It has been a rollercoaster for them – perhaps more than for us.”

Williams and Wilmore launched for the ISS on June 5, 2024, but their return plans were disrupted due to technical issues with their spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner. NASA deemed the Starliner unsafe for their return trip, and the astronauts were left stranded in space until SpaceX’s Crew-9 return flight scheduled for March 19 or 20.

Amidst speculations and controversies surrounding their prolonged stay, including claims of political reasons for their delayed return, Williams and Wilmore maintained a diplomatic stance. Williams stated, “We have the utmost respect for everyone working to bring us home,” while Wilmore mentioned being kept in the dark about the efforts being made by the Biden administration to facilitate their return.

Despite the uncertainties and challenges faced during their extended stay in space, both astronauts remained focused on their mission and expressed gratitude for the support from the ground team.
