NASA’s crew -9 astronaut Sunita Williams, Buch Willmore and Nick Hague talked to the press about the future of NASA’s human space flight program, after their recent return from the International Space Station (ISS).
Mr. Wilmore said that he would carefully study and improve all the issues faced by him before going into space in another Boeing Starlineer spacecraft.
The question of a reporter for Mr. Wilmore, on which he would blame for the mission that did not go according to the plan, said, “There were some issues that took place with Starlineer. There were some issues that certainly prevented us from returning … If I started pointing to fingers, I would start myself. I would start with myself.”
“Dosha, I don’t like this word … We are all responsible, NASA and Boeing too. Trust is very important. We are not going back to look back and say ‘This person or that unit is to be convicted’. We are going to look forward and say how we use the lessons learned by this whole process and how we are successful in the future,” Sri Wilmore said.
On whether they will go to Starlineer again, he said, “Yes, because we are going to improve it, fix, work. Boeing is completely committed. NASA is completely committed.”
Ms. Williams agreed, pointing to the strength of Starlineer, a complex spacecraft.
“The spacecraft is very capable, but there are things that need to be decided according to the mention.
On March 18, with NASA Crew -9 astronauts, along with Russian Cosmonot Alexandra Gorbunov, there was a splash on Earth on the Dragon Capsule of SpaceX of Elon Musk.
The White House highlighted the role of President Donald Trump in giving priority to its defense. President Trump alleged that his predecessor Joe Biden left astronauts in space. On 7 March, he announced that he allowed Mr. Musk to bring back two American astronauts.
Ms. Wlliams and Mr. Wilmore stayed in ISS after nine months after their Boeing Starlineer spacecraft, beating a mission, which should have been short in a long time.
