NASA astronaut Sunita Williams is currently on an extended stay at the International Space Station (ISS) due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. She and her fellow astronaut, Barry Wilmore, were supposed to return earlier, but their return has been delayed. Despite this uncertainty, Sunita’s mother, Bonnie Pandya, remains completely calm and confident. She believes that her daughter knows exactly what she is doing and is well-prepared for any challenges that may arise in space.
Sunita Has Been in Space Before, She is Used to It
In an interview, Bonnie Pandya shared that she is not worried at all because Sunita has spent long durations in space before. "This is not her first time staying in space for an extended period. She is well-trained, experienced, and knows how to handle such situations," she said. Sunita Williams has previously been on two space missions and spent many days in space, so this situation is not new to her.
She is Excited to Return Home and Meet Her Family
While Sunita is dedicated to completing her mission successfully, she is also looking forward to coming back home. Her mother mentioned that Sunita is eager to reunite with her family and take some time to relax once she returns. Meanwhile, NASA is carefully planning her safe return, ensuring that every precaution is taken.
Space Missions Should Stay Away from Politics
There have been some political discussions surrounding the Starliner mission, but Sunita’s mother believes that decisions related to space travel should be made based on science, not politics. She stated, "Engineers and scientists are working hard to fix the issues, and we should trust them instead of making it a political matter."
Her Safety is the Top Priority, and She Will Return Soon
NASA and Boeing are closely monitoring the situation and working on a plan to bring Sunita and her teammate back safely. Despite the delays, Sunita’s mother and her family remain positive and trust in NASA’s expertise. They know that safety is the highest priority, and soon, Sunita will be back home, sharing her incredible experiences from space.
