As Americans vote in the 2024 elections, NASA has made arrangements for astronauts in space, including Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams, to participate remotely. Williams, along with fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore, is currently on the Boeing Starliner and is expected to return to Earth only in February. NASA’s voting-from-space initiative ensures that these astronauts can fulfill their civic duty despite their location. Williams expressed her excitement about voting from space, emphasizing the importance of this right as a citizen.
