"Dream - Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, two NASA astronauts, are still at the International Space Station (ISS) nearly two weeks after their scheduled return. The Boeing Starliner spacecraft they are aboard encountered propulsion issues during the journey to the ISS after being launched on June 5."

"Nasa explains that Wilmore and Williams have the capability to detach from the space station and return to Earth whenever necessary. They are not stranded; they are just remaining in orbit longer to give the mission team time to review the propulsion system."

"We took the time and followed the standard process of our mission management team,” she said, as reported by the Times of India. Sunita Williams is a distinguished NASA astronaut and a prominent US Navy officer. She was chosen to be the co-pilot alongside Wilmore in the Starliner mission."

"Williams has an exceptional achievement as the first woman to pilot a spacecraft. She holds the record for the most spaceflights by a woman, with a total of seven trips and the longest time spent in space, 50 hours and 40 minutes. Williams has also participated in various missions to the ISS, including serving as the space station commander in 2012, the second woman to reach this position."
