Astronauts Still Hopeful After Return To Earth Delayed
HuffPost
The trip was initially supposed to be a weeklong test drive of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft.
Two NASA astronauts have been in space for weeks longer than expected as Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft continues to undergo repairs.
But the interstellar duo, flight commander Barry “Butch” Wilmore and flight pilot Sunita “Suni” Williams, have managed to remain in positive spirits, according to a Wednesday press conference.
“We are having a great time here on ISS,” Williams said Wednesday. “Butch and I have been up here before and it feels like coming back home. It feels good to float around, it feels good to be in space and work up here with the International Space Station team. It’s great to be up here so I’m not complaining, Butch isn’t complaining, that we’re here for a couple extra weeks.”
After years of technical difficulties during its development, the Starliner departed Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on June 5.
“Launch was spectacular. I mean, truly amazing,” Wilmore said Wednesday. “The spacecraft performed unbelievably well.”
