Starliner Astronauts Williams and Wilmore Make History with Record-Breaking Spacewalk After 8 Months Aboard ISS
NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have completed their first joint spacewalk after an unexpected 8-month mission extension aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Originally set for 8 days, their stay was prolonged due to technical snags with Boeing's Starliner. During this 5.5-hour spacewalk, they conducted essential maintenance, collected microbe samples, and set a new female spacewalk duration record, with Sunita Williams logging an impressive 62 hours and 6 minutes in spacewalk time.
