Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore ‘turned Santa’ on board the International Space Station this week ahead of Christmas.

While NASA managers bristle at calling them stuck or stranded, the two retired Navy captains shrug off the description of their plight. Both the astronauts quickly became full-fledged members of the crew — helping with science experiments and chores like fixing a broken toilet, vacuuming the air vents and watering the plants.
