Stuck-in-space astronauts reflect on being left behind and adjusting to life in orbit

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Stuck-in-space astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams said Friday it’s been tough dealing with their Boeing ride leaving without them and the prospect of spending several extra months in orbit. It was their first public comments since last week’s return of the Boeing Starliner capsule that took them to the International Space Station in June. The transition to station life was “not that hard” since both had previous stints there, said Williams, who logged two long space station stays years ago. “But you have to turn the page and look at the next opportunity.” ___ The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.
