00:00.080 --> 00:02.869
two astronauts stranded in

00:02.869 --> 00:02.879



00:02.879 --> 00:06.110
space what's up with that Sita Williams

00:06.110 --> 00:06.120



00:06.120 --> 00:07.789
and Barry Wilmore known as sunny and

00:07.789 --> 00:07.799



00:07.799 --> 00:09.830
Butch embarked on their trip to the

00:09.830 --> 00:09.840



00:09.840 --> 00:11.749
International Space Station on Boeing

00:11.749 --> 00:11.759



00:11.759 --> 00:14.749
Starliner it was uh trying at times it

00:14.749 --> 00:14.759



00:14.759 --> 00:16.590
was there were some tough times all the

00:16.590 --> 00:16.600



00:16.600 --> 00:19.710
way through it departed on June 5th 2024

00:19.710 --> 00:19.720



00:19.720 --> 00:22.150
and was intended to be an 8-day Mission

00:22.150 --> 00:22.160



00:22.160 --> 00:24.310
however when their Starline experiened

00:24.310 --> 00:24.320



00:24.320 --> 00:26.189
technical malfunctions they became

00:26.189 --> 00:26.199



00:26.199 --> 00:28.509
stranded in space it's okay we're

00:28.509 --> 00:28.519



00:28.519 --> 00:30.109
professional astronauts we were are

00:30.109 --> 00:30.119



00:30.119 --> 00:33.190
trained for every contingency uh to live

00:33.190 --> 00:33.200



00:33.200 --> 00:35.470
up here so we're here NASA has since

00:35.470 --> 00:35.480



00:35.480 --> 00:37.229
announced that they will only return in

00:37.229 --> 00:37.239



00:37.239 --> 00:40.150
February 20125 as part of the SpaceX

00:40.150 --> 00:40.160



00:40.160 --> 00:42.389
crew N9 Mission I'm an optimist I look

00:42.389 --> 00:42.399



00:42.399 --> 00:45.190
at it always like glass half full um we

00:45.190 --> 00:45.200



00:45.200 --> 00:48.150
get to learn and train and fly in

00:48.150 --> 00:48.160



00:48.160 --> 00:49.869
another spacecraft so that's pretty

00:49.869 --> 00:49.879



00:49.879 --> 00:51.670
awesome the astronauts appear to be in

00:51.670 --> 00:51.680



00:51.680 --> 00:53.750
good spirits but recent images of them

00:53.750 --> 00:53.760



00:53.760 --> 00:55.869
have spark concerns for Sunny's help you

00:55.869 --> 00:55.879



00:55.879 --> 00:57.270
know it's funny I think there's some

00:57.270 --> 00:57.280



00:57.280 --> 01:00.189
rumors around out outside there that I

01:00.189 --> 01:00.199



01:00.199 --> 01:02.470
losing weight and stuff no I'm actually

01:02.470 --> 01:02.480



01:02.480 --> 01:04.469
right at the same amount in photos

01:04.469 --> 01:04.479



01:04.479 --> 01:06.429
showing them enjoying pizza and packets

01:06.429 --> 01:06.439



01:06.439 --> 01:08.510
of girls Peppers Sunny appears

01:08.510 --> 01:08.520



01:08.520 --> 01:10.749
noticeably gaunt with sunken cheeks and

01:10.749 --> 01:10.759



01:10.759 --> 01:12.670
a thinner frame I think my body has

01:12.670 --> 01:12.680



01:12.680 --> 01:14.870
changed a little bit but uh I I weigh

01:14.870 --> 01:14.880



01:14.880 --> 01:16.870
the same their spacecraft had suffered

01:16.870 --> 01:16.880



01:16.880 --> 01:19.030
from technical issues including thrust

01:19.030 --> 01:19.040



01:19.040 --> 01:21.310
to failures and helium leaks faced with

01:21.310 --> 01:21.320



01:21.320 --> 01:23.390
two options flying home on the faulty

01:23.390 --> 01:23.400



01:23.400 --> 01:25.590
spacecraft or waiting for space X's

01:25.590 --> 01:25.600



01:25.600 --> 01:27.670
capsule to pick them up sunny and Butch

01:27.670 --> 01:27.680



01:27.680 --> 01:29.510
chose to wait and have been in space

01:29.510 --> 01:29.520



01:29.520 --> 01:30.469
ever since

01:30.469 --> 01:30.479



01:30.479 --> 01:32.190
you certainly as uh the commander and

01:32.190 --> 01:32.200



01:32.200 --> 01:34.510
the PLT of your spacecraft you don't

01:34.510 --> 01:34.520



01:34.520 --> 01:36.550
want to see it go off without you but

01:36.550 --> 01:36.560



01:36.560 --> 01:38.749
that's where we wound up Sunny has since

01:38.749 --> 01:38.759



01:38.759 --> 01:40.350
addressed the speculation about her

01:40.350 --> 01:40.360



01:40.360 --> 01:42.030
health claiming that she has actually

01:42.030 --> 01:42.040



01:42.040 --> 01:44.069
gained muscle Butch and I have been up

01:44.069 --> 01:44.079



01:44.079 --> 01:45.910
here for a number of months we've been

01:45.910 --> 01:45.920



01:45.920 --> 01:47.870
on the workout gear we've got a bike we

01:47.870 --> 01:47.880



01:47.880 --> 01:49.910
got a treadmill and we got weightlifting

01:49.910 --> 01:49.920



01:49.920 --> 01:51.990
equipment however more doctors have

01:51.990 --> 01:52.000



01:52.000 --> 01:53.749
expressed concerns noting that the

01:53.749 --> 01:53.759



01:53.759 --> 01:55.230
natural stresses of living in

01:55.230 --> 01:55.240



01:55.240 --> 01:57.270
microgravity are taking a toll on their

01:57.270 --> 01:57.280



01:57.280 --> 01:59.510
bodies and I could definitely tell that

01:59.510 --> 01:59.520



01:59.520 --> 02:01.469
uh weightlifting which is not something

02:01.469 --> 02:01.479



02:01.479 --> 02:03.670
I do all the time has definitely changed

02:03.670 --> 02:03.680



02:03.680 --> 02:05.270
me my thighs are a little bit bigger my

02:05.270 --> 02:05.280



02:05.280 --> 02:06.910
butt is a little bit bigger the

02:06.910 --> 02:06.920



02:06.920 --> 02:08.910
astronauts have likely been eating less

02:08.910 --> 02:08.920



02:08.920 --> 02:10.669
because their bodies are expending more

02:10.669 --> 02:10.679



02:10.679 --> 02:12.630
energy to adjust to the absence of

02:12.630 --> 02:12.640



02:12.640 --> 02:14.830
gravity and maintain warmth the concern

02:14.830 --> 02:14.840



02:14.840 --> 02:17.670
for for us specifically uh is very

02:17.670 --> 02:17.680



02:17.680 --> 02:19.589
heartwarming and like I said much

02:19.589 --> 02:19.599



02:19.599 --> 02:21.190
appreciated people we don't even know

02:21.190 --> 02:21.200



02:21.200 --> 02:23.190
Across the Nation San Butch we're

02:23.190 --> 02:23.200



02:23.200 --> 02:24.990
praying for you come on back all that

02:24.990 --> 02:25.000



02:25.000 --> 02:26.949
those things this worrying development

02:26.949 --> 02:26.959



02:26.959 --> 02:28.990
follows the recent hospitalization of

02:28.990 --> 02:29.000



02:29.000 --> 02:31.550
another NASA member it can be a whole

02:31.550 --> 02:31.560



02:31.560 --> 02:33.630
spectrum of experience from you know

02:33.630 --> 02:33.640



02:33.640 --> 02:35.670
lightheadedness nausea all the way to

02:35.670 --> 02:35.680



02:35.680 --> 02:37.589
vomiting but many are placing the blame

02:37.589 --> 02:37.599



02:37.599 --> 02:39.430
on Boeing which has faced significant

02:39.430 --> 02:39.440



02:39.440 --> 02:41.830
failures due to faulty aircraft these

02:41.830 --> 02:41.840



02:41.840 --> 02:43.509
issues have not only resulted in the

02:43.509 --> 02:43.519



02:43.519 --> 02:45.589
loss of life on Earth but have now left

02:45.589 --> 02:45.599



02:45.599 --> 02:50.000
astronauts stranded in space
