                                  HUMAN METEOR


NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore boarded Boeing Starliner for an 8 day mission to ISS on June 5th 2024. This was the first crew test flight for the Starliner spacecraft developed by Air space company Boeing. Due to tech defaults the spaceship was no longer safe for there return, it  got extended to almost 9 months. Boeing got help from its rival space X to get back the duet on earth. 

Starliner returned safely to earth, empty,  in September. SpaceX Capsule reached ISS late September. It flew with only two crew instead of 4 seats to get them back. NASA peer embraced their longer than expected stay in space. They carried out an array of experiments. On Christmas they dressed like Santa. Exercise was important even in space. On 17th  January 2025 they did a space walk to perform the maintenance of the craft. 

 THEY WORKED & SURVIVED

Although this was not the first mission to bring back the stuck back to earth but of course the long stay was not planned,  they returned safely on 18th March 2025.


Why I was interested in this Astronaut because she is interested in Bhagavad Gita. In one of her space missions her dad advised her to take the book and read it. She founded it to be the most practical and advanced one. 

 Going for the eight day emission which resulted in 9 months stay was another interesting point. A mothers womb carries a child for 9 months. she was in a space womb. Second life for her, not because she survive but  she experienced a totally different womb...  Lucky Sunita


So I wanted to dwell deep in the mind of this person and understand the world from her perspective.

 India from space what she saw:  The Himalayas was the most awe inspiring feature visible from space. Another astonishing view was the Bombay Gujarat coastal line where the fishing fleet acts as a visual beacon.  Rainbow vegetation of the nation created a unique landscape that was Incredible to look at night as well as during the day.


What might have the crew of space X experienced......

 where they experiencing  a new birth...   what we really experience inside a womb......

 If I want to survive I will return back......

 Duty towards time and they survived.

 They were in motion not by body but by mind.

 They had hope not on fate but on self.

 The had the courage to fight and turn the odds to even.

If  the equation of earth was m=y:x  they worked on m=x:y  with the same effect.

WELCOME BACK TO LIFE
