Astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmor are expected to stay at the International Space Station until February 2025 Boeing's Starliner spacecraft on May 7, 2024, in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Back in July, Williams and Wilmore spoke up themselves about their trip to the ISS — which may be about 8 months long, according to NASA — and gave an interview to CBS News livestreamed from the Space Station.
Williams said at the time she has "a real good feeling in my heart that the spacecraft will bring us home, no problem."
"But like Butch said, we're learning now to optimize our specific situation and make sure that we know everything about it," she continued, noting that if the pair "just came home" now they would lose some of the data they intend to obtain.
"I have confidence. Butch has confidence. We're here on the space station with our safe haven of Starliner," Williams added.
