Sunita “Suni” Williams and Butch Wilmore had launched to the orbiting laboratory last summer on the first crewed test flight of the Boeing Starliner.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are hoping to set the record straight again after an extended trip to the space station.
Wilmore also pleaded with people to help change that narrative, to say they were “committed” to the trip and not just stuck in space.
“Butch and I knew this was a test flight,” she said, noting that they “knew that we would probably find some things (wrong with Starliner) and we found some stuff, and so that was not a surprise.”.
He and Williams were also asked about claims from President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk that they had been left in the lurch by the Biden administration.
