Sunita Williams - one of the two NASA astronauts currently stranded on the International Space Station - has responded after Donald Trump spoke out about her being 'abandoned' in space. Speaking to press via video call on Friday (7 Feb), the 59-year-old responded to a bizarre request the President made last month.

LOS ANGELES -- NASA and SpaceX are accelerating the target launch and return dates for the upcoming crew rotation missions to and from the International Space Station (ISS), which will bring the agency's stranded astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore back home.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore completed a spacewalk Thursday while awaiting their delayed return to Earth. Williams set a new spacewalking record for female astronauts during the mission.

A photographer on Earth has captured an incredible telescope image of NASA astronaut Suni Williams outside of the International Space Station, as it passed by roughly 250 miles overhead.

President Donald Trump took to social media this week to announce he had directed SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to “go get” two NASA astronauts who have been on a protracted stay at the International Space Station after their Boeing Starliner mission, which launched in June and was expected to last about eight days, ran into multiple technical issues.

Starliner astronaut Sunita Williams says she and crewmate Butch Wilmore have not been "abandoned" in space, as NASA considers plans to speed their return.

When Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner in June 2024, they were supposed to spend just eight days in space before returning to Earth. Instead, technical failures turned their short trip into an unexpectedly prolonged stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
