Likes to be in space
During the conversation, Sunita said that it was difficult for me to be stuck here and spend many months in orbit, but I like being in space a lot. She also said that I wanted to spend quality time with my mother, but it feels good to be in two different spacecraft in the same mission. She said that we are testers and this is our job.
This is what happens in this profession…
Sunita Williams further said that we wanted to complete the Starliner, but you have to turn the page and look for the next opportunity. She said that she did not expect to stay in space for a year, but she knew that there could be a delay in return. She said that this keeps happening in this profession.
What did fellow astronaut Wilmore say?
Sunita’s fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore said that he is sad that he will not be present for his younger daughter’s final year of high school. He also thanked those who sent him good wishes. Let us tell you that both of them are now working on maintenance and new experiments on NASA’s space station.
What did he say on US Election?
The two astronauts also emphasized civic duty and said they want to vote in the US presidential election this November. They also requested absentee ballots so they could vote from orbit.
