Astronauts recall the tension of problem starliner flight

Astronaut Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, when approaching the International Space Station (ISS) last year, with thrusters in the Boeing Starliner capsule last year, did not fly the dock.

If they could not dock, they did not know if they could return it again.

“Docking was anthricative,” said Mrmilmore BBC news, two months later and Ms. Williams made a return to the ground finally on the ground. “If we couldn’t do it, let’s get it back? We didn’t know.”

Astronauts walked on a test flight to last eight days. Instead, they ended to stay in space for about 10 months.

The first challenge, the mission control in the land helped to restart thrust the thrusters.

Mr. Wilmore said, “We definitely pass through our minds,” he said.

However, both astronauts have not played the worst scenarios in these moments, because they continued to progress with the solution of problems.

“Read each other’s opinion and know where we go with all the failures,” MS Williams told the BBC.

“They were not expected,” he said. However, thoughts quickly turned into solutions: “At the same time, you know, do we like, what? What can we do?”

The saga of the couple began in June 2024. Aerospace company Boeing participated in the first group of Starliner Space Ship.

However, after a number of technical problems during the flight, the Starliner selection carrying the house of astronauts leading the planned astronauts, given that the couple can be returned by another company instead of spacehx.

Therefore, they stayed in space until the gap was returned to the capsule. In turn, it was safe for the use of their capsules and returned to the artist, which all overthrows, in general, in general, in September 2024.

After a monthly practice at the Space Station, Mrs. Williams and Mrmilmore As a result, he returned on March 18.

At this stage of their mission, the couple were repeatedly closed, he said that there were no means to leave the ISS.

However, this was not the case because the space station always has a spaceline that was closed to him – it can move the astronauts in a rescue to carry the astronauts.

However, the couple was longer than expected to stay – although NASA couple hugged it.

“We didn’t know anyone would just let us know … We knew everyone’s back and we were looking for us,” said MS Williams.

While in Limbo, after the couple found in the middle of a political number, US President Donald Trump blamed after leaving his predecessor Joe Biden in space.

However, the astronauts said they ignored politics and are not abandoned. “We can not talk at all,” Mrmilmore said. “We realize that the space flight is difficult, the human space flight becomes even harder.”

After two months of returning to the ground, both astronauts say they feel fit and feel good, because they are training they pay in the zero weight environment.

To train in zero gravity, Mr. Wilmore explained that your body is not often needed to recover from daily squats and deeallifts.

“For almost 10 months,” every day “Every day he said,” Every day, “he said,” He said.

Ms. Williams agreed – he ran after landing on earth and once fled a fully marathon in space – but it was not easy to look at the weight of the world.

“Only your head and back and back and all such items are a little painful,” he said.

Since their return, the couple works with NASA and Boeing to solve problems with a ferved spaceship leading to space last summer.

“We hope to have the opportunity to fly Boeing Starliner in the future,” Mrmilmore said.

Both the astronauts once again said they would fly in the craftsman – once these technical issues were resolved.

“It’s a very skilled space ship,” said MS Williams. “It has unique opportunities compared to the other spaceship that is really great for the flying astronauts.”
