Starliner Spacecraft, who went on both these astronauts, returned to Earth last week without Williams and Wilmore. Both these Astronauts can return from Spacex’s Team-9 flight in February next year. Williams shared his views on the delay in returning to Earth at a video press conference. He described ISS as a ‘happy place’. Williams said that due to his previous experience, adjustment about life in space is not difficult. Regarding this, Wilmore said that there was no consensus on his return to Starliner. Their stay has increased due to no solution to some technical problems. Wilmore reported that his current situation is for better in view of safety fears with Starliner.
Williams admitted that her stay on ISS has some tension but she is focusing on the mission. Both these Astronauts expressed their desire to cast their vote from space for the president in the US in the upcoming election. There is a contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in this election.
The Starliner Spacecraft was finding it difficult to reach ISS. Among them, the leak of helium from spacecraft was also a problem. Because of this, NASA and Boeing decided to bring it to earth without astronauts. Last month, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) had said that these challenges facing NASA would be a significant learning for the country’s Gaganyaan mission. The head of ISRO, S Somanath said that this situation is an important learning for the Gaganyaan Mission. The first Test flight of this human rated rocket is likely to be held later this year. Somnath had said that understanding the challenges facing NASA will help ISRO to prepare for its mission.
