  • Williams, in a video conference with classmates at Needham High School on Monday, said that she has been trying to remember what it's like to walk.

The article from WION discusses NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, who has been stranded in space due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Williams, along with fellow astronaut Barry Wilmore, was supposed to return to Earth after a brief mission to the International Space Station (ISS). However, complications with the spacecraft's thrusters and helium leaks have delayed their return. In a recent communication, Williams humorously mentioned that she has forgotten what it feels like to walk on Earth, highlighting the prolonged nature of their stay in zero gravity. NASA and Boeing are working on solutions to safely bring the astronauts back, but no specific return date has been confirmed. Meanwhile, Williams remains in good spirits, engaging in various activities aboard the ISS.
