ExplainerNine months in space could change your body forever, allowing long-term health effects for astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Willmore.It was a mission that lasted much longer than planned. US astronauts Sunita “Sni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Willmore went to space on June 5, 2024 at the Boeing Star Liner Calypso. However, as the spaceship approached the station, its thrust malfunctioned, and NASA ordered them to stay on the ISS, thinking of a way to get them back. It lasted nine months, or 288 days, and Williams and Wilmore became two of the longest-serving NASA astronauts in the universe on…

Sunita “Sni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Willmore returned to Earth after nine months at the International Space Station (ISS). Williams and Wilmore splattered in the Gulf of Mexico at 5:57pm on a SpaceX Dragon Capsule after a 17-hour return trip from the ISS.

Williams and Wilmore first launched on the ISS in June 2024 as part of a mission essential to Boeing’s attempts to compete…

Vance acknowledged that new technology could lead to specific job movements, as was the case with bank tellers when ATMs were invented, but he said history shows that innovation can ultimately help create more attractive and well-paid jobs. “What I’m proposing is…
