NASA astronauts stuck in space say they 'don't feel like castaways' Two NASA astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station since June 2024 have said they "do not feel like castaways".
The astronauts are waiting for NASA's next crew to arrive at the ISS so they can take their places on the rocket home, along with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams originally planned to go to space for just eight days but got stuck on the ISS when their Boeing Starliner spacecraft experienced a myriad of problems.
Responding to a question referencing the Tom Hanks film Cast Away, in which the main character is stranded on a desert island, Ms Williams said she and Mr Wilmore did not feel abandoned.
The astronauts also said they had not yet been able to see the wildfires spreading in California from the window of the space station due to the path of their orbit.
