NASA astronaut Sunita Williams revealed during a press conference that the hardest part of being stranded in space for over 9 months has been the uncertainty of returning home for her and those waiting for her on Earth, reported The Times of India.
Addressing the press from the International Space Station (ISS), Williams said, “The hardest part is having the folks on the ground not know exactly when we’re coming back. It’s been a rollercoaster for them – probably more so than for us.”
Sunita Williams and fellow American astronaut Butch Wilmore are set to return to Earth on a Space X Crew Dragon mission that will be launched mid-March, after suffering several delays in their rescue.
The pair had left for space above the Boeing Starliner capsule in June, 2024, but had to be indefinitely stationed at the ISS after the craft faced issues that made their return risky.
