Four astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) – Sunita Williams, Barry Wilmore, Don Pettit, and Nick Hague – shared a heartfelt Christmas message on December 23. Initially launched on an eight-day test flight on June 5, the Boeing Starliner spacecraft encountered technical issues, leaving them stranded. In their festive video, the crew passed weightless candy canes and thanked mission control teams for sacrifices during the holidays. Williams, a seasoned space traveler, marked another holiday season in orbit. The astronauts showcased canned festive meals and reflected on spending holidays away from loved ones while focusing on mission responsibilities.
