NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS), remain upbeat despite the extended duration of their mission. Originally planned for a week, their stay has been extended until February 2025 due to issues with Boeing’s Starliner, which will now return to Earth via SpaceX's Crew-9 Dragon. Wilmore and Williams, who performed Starliner’s first crewed test flight, expressed no disappointment, focusing instead on their ongoing work. Williams praised Starliner's safe landing, while both astronauts are maintaining fitness routines to counteract space’s effects on bone density and muscle mass.
