The suspense continues. We do not know when she will return to Earth.
She is stuck in the space.
Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams, who is stuck on the International Space Station (ISS), today said it was her “happy place” and that she “loves” being up there.
Williams and her fellow NASA colleague Butch Wilmore on June 5 took off aboard the Boeing’s Starliner as part of the vessel’s first crewed mission, in what was originally meant to be eight days in orbit.
Their stay, however, has been stretched to eight months after the Starliner ran into several technical issues and returned to Earth without them last week.
“That’s how things go in this business,” Sunita Williams said in a video press conference on being stuck in the space.
Ms Williams said the transition to station life was “not that hard” since both astronauts had previous stints there. She is hopeful of coming back to the earth soon.
