Sunita Williams Press Conference: Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were stuck in space, held a press conference at the space center 420 kilometers away from the Earth and interacted with the media and answered many questions. She said that it was difficult for her to leave the Boeing plane without them and stay in orbit for months. She also said that I love being in space. This is one of my favorite places.
Her first public comments last week were hers since the return of the Boeing Starliner capsule that carried her to the International Space Station in June. It remained in space after NASA decided it was too dangerous to return to the damaged capsule. Sunita Williams's mission was supposed to be eight days, but is now expected to last more than eight months.
this is my favourite place
Sunita Williams said, 'This is my happy place. I love being here in space. Sunita Williams was distraught for some time due to missing the opportunity to spend precious time with her mother. She said that she is excited to fly two different spacecraft on the same mission. We are testers, this is our job.
We wanted to complete the Starliner and land it in our country, but you have to turn the page and look for the next opportunity.
Sunita Williams said that the transition to station life was not that difficult, as both of them had lived there before. They had made a long trip to the space station several years ago.
He had some tough times on his way as a space shuttle pilot. As the first test pilot of the Starliner, he didn't expect to be there for nearly a year, but he knew problems could arise that would delay his return. It happens in this field.
Wilmore expressed disappointment that she would not be present for her youngest sister's senior year of high school. Wilmore and Sunita Williams are members of the station crew, which is busy with routine maintenance and experiments. Wilmore told reporters during a press conference that Williams will take command of the space station in a few weeks. This is her second space trip after she took off from Florida on June 5.
Thanks to the people
Both astronauts also said they appreciated the prayers and well wishes from strangers back home, which helped them deal with all they would miss at home.
Emphasizes civic duties
He requested an absentee ballot on Friday so he could vote from orbit in the November election. Both emphasized the importance of fulfilling one's civic duty, as the mission still continues.
Earlier this week, the pair welcomed seven others to the space station, including two Russians and an American. There are now 12 people on board the space station. Two of these passengers will fly with SpaceX later this month. Also, two capsule seats will be left empty for the return of Wilmore and Williams.
Let us tell you that their Starliner capsule marked Boeing's first space flight with astronauts. It suffered multiple thruster failures and a helium leak before reaching the space station on June 6. It landed safely in the New Mexico desert earlier this month, but Boeing's path forward in NASA's Commercial Crew Program remains uncertain.
The space agency hired SpaceX and Boeing as an orbital taxi service a decade before the shuttle was retired. SpaceX has been carrying passengers to space since 2020.
