U.S. astronauts upbeat seven months into eight-day mission

Raw Story  

Two U.S. astronauts who have been stuck for months on the International Space Station said Wednesday they have plenty of food, are not facing a laundry crisis, and don't yet feel like castaways. Veteran astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams arrived at the ISS in June aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, and were due to spend only eight days on the orbiting laboratory. After the propulsion problems developed, NASA ultimately decided to return the spacecraft to Earth without its crew, and to bring the two stranded astronauts back home with the members of the SpaceX Crew-9 mission. Crew-9's two astronauts arrived at the ISS aboard a Dragon spacecraft in late September, with two empty seats for Wilmore and Williams.
