How NASA will bring astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore home remains uncertain as they continue their extended stay on the International Space Station due to ongoing issues with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. Despite the uncertainty, the pair are making the best of it in their temporary home in low Earth orbit.that Williams and Wilmore, who were originally scheduled for an eight-day mission to the ISS, have now been in space for over two months.
Ken Bowersox, NASA’s director of space operations, acknowledged, “Our chances of an uncrewed Starliner return have increased a little bit based on the way things have gone over the last week or two.” Despite the challenges, the astronauts remain in good spirits. “The astronauts are happy as clams up there,” says Ken Kremer, founder and editor of space news website SpaceUpClose. The ISS is well-equipped, with ample water and food supplies, and the recent resupply mission has ensured that the crew has more than enough resources.
