Two Astronauts Stay Upbeat Despite Being Stuck in Space

DNVN - On January 8, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, despite being stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) for many months, said they did not feel abandoned and were still provided with enough necessary food.

In a call with NASA officials, Williams said she was in good spirits despite being in space longer than expected. She said she was happy to be working on the ISS and did not feel isolated. Wilmore also expressed optimism about living conditions, saying food and a safe living environment were guaranteed.

In June 2024, the two astronauts arrived at the ISS on Boeing's Starliner, with the intention of staying there for only 8 days. However, they encountered a "stuck" situation due to a technical problem with the Starliner. NASA originally planned to bring them back to Earth in February 2025, but the schedule has changed. The next flight, codenamed Crew-10, is expected to launch as early as March 2025.

The two astronauts' stay under the new plan will be extended by at least one more month, bringing their total time at the ISS to nearly 10 months.
