Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore to Cast Their Vote from Space | Firstpost America

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were set to return home in 2024 but remain aboard the International Space Station due to a major malfunction in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. Five thrusters failed during their June mission, delaying their return by eight months. Despite the extended stay, the astronauts have adapted, continuing scientific experiments and maintaining fitness routines to combat the effects of space. The astronauts will also vote from space in the US presidential election. They’re now scheduled to return in February 2025 aboard SpaceX's reliable Dragon capsule. Meanwhile, Boeing faces a costly investigation into the Starliner failure, raising questions about the spacecraft’s future in NASA’s missions.
