Astronauts on the Boeing Startline Mission at the International Space Station responded to comments and news about their prolongation of their mission: We do not feel wandering.
According to RCO News Agency, Astronauts on the Boeing Startline mission are in the last phase of their long unexpected stay in the Earth’s orbit, and they are constantly referred to by people and the media, wandering and abandoned astronauts.
NASA astronauts traveled to the International Space Station (ISS) on the first trial flight of the Boeing STRSTS, according to Space, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore. The two expected their orbit stay to take about 7 days, but the Startlines suffered a defect in its propulsion performance as they approached the space station and the maneuvers of their connection to the station. This led to extensive NASA and Boeing investigations on Earth, while the space agency decided how to continue.
Eventually, the unmanned STARTLY RETURNED to Earth, and Williams and Wilmor were added to the Crow-Space X mission, which reached the International Space Station in late September. The attraction of Williams and Wilmor in Crowd-1 meant increasing their time in space until the arrival of astronauts on the Crowd-1 mission, at the end of the six-month rotation of the Crowd-1 mission.
Since then, the headlines that have expressed regret over the disasters of “wandering astronauts” have subsided in the media. During all this period, Williams and Wilmor continued their regular duties at the International Space Station, including their achievements to break the record for Williams as a woman.
The status of the two has recently attracted more attention; After US President Donald Trump blamed the Biden government for “leaving two astronauts, and publicly called on Ilan Mask, CEO of SpaceX and his close adviser to do something to save them.
In December, NASA delayed the launch of the Crowd-1 until the end of March because of the need to complete the work on the new Dragon spacecraft built for the mission. The delay delayed the return of Williams and Wilmor, which will be delayed by two astronauts who went on space on the Crowd-1 mission.
More delay in the construction of the new Dragon Crowe-1 spacecraft has now been NASA to replace the mission with the spacecraft earlier. The announcement came two weeks after the exchange of views on social media between President Trump and Mask.
Now in a new conversation, the two astronauts have explained that sometimes the mission is only part of the work that makes the space staying from 6 days to 6 months.
“We are ready, we are committed,” says Wilmor. This is the essence of a manned space flight plan. This app is ready for all the possible things we can imagine and we are ready for them. We don’t feel abandoned. We don’t feel that we are trapped.
In fact, Wilmor noted: All astronauts at the International Space Station can return to Earth immediately in emergencies. “We never expect to come back unless a medical problem or case really happens outside of the natural conditions,” he said.
“Help us change this word,” Wilmor added. Let’s change it to “ready and committed”.
Both astronauts have lived in previous missions at the International Space Station for a long time, both say that they enjoy spending time in the mission.
Williams added: “It is surprising that when you enter it again after being here, it feels” My God! I remember how all this is! I remember how to float it! And I think both of us were very fast. “
He also said that the end of their current space flight would be an emotional end: I think both of us will be a little sad when we lose this space.
NASA is currently planning March 6 to launch the Crowdo-1 mission, which will fly instead of the new SpaceX Dragon spacecraft. A typical overlap at the space station takes about a week, so Wilmor says he expects the Crowd-1 mission to move to Earth on March 5.
