From Fox News: After spending nine months aboard the International Space Station (ISS), veteran astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are finally back on Earth – and they opened up about their mission for the first time in an exclusive Fox News interview that aired Monday.
Sitting down with “America’s Newsroom” co-anchor Bill Hemmer at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, the duo reflected on their time in orbit, their reactions to learning they’d be staying longer than planned, the future of space exploration and what it means to serve their country in space.
“My first thought was we’ve just got to pivot,” Williams said, recalling the moment the duo learned their return would be delayed. “If our spacecraft was going to go home based on decisions made here, and we were going to be up there ’til February, I was like, ‘Let’s make the best of it.'”
A little “excited” about the prospect of spending months in orbit, Williams enthused about her love for living in space – witnessing “scientific experiments” unfolding around them and seeing the changes made to the International Space Station since her last visit.
Williams and Wilmore both expressed their appreciation for Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
