The astronauts are merely “kind of stuck,” according to former NASA administrator Scott Hubbard, who spoke to the Associated Press.
They are already living on the space station, where there are other astronauts and a lot of “supplies and work to do.”
According to AP, SpaceX will deploy only two people on their trip next month in order to accommodate Wilmore and Williams on their four-person spacecraft,
and if the Streamliner is determined to be unfit for return to Earth, it will be removed from the space station to make way for the SpaceX Dragon.
How are Wilmore and Williams doing emotionally? Both astronauts are former Navy captains who have previously completed
“long” space trips; nevertheless, neither has addressed the possibility of remaining in space until 2025. This information was published by the Associated Press.
During a 2016 interview with India Today, Williams described space flight as “feeling like you’ve been there your whole life” after only a week of the experience. A natural flow, it seems.
