Astronaut Butch Wilmore Details Moment He Thought He, Suni Williams Were Going to Die

Retired astronaut Butch Wilmore reflected on the thoughts he had when he and former colleague Sunita Williams were stranded in space for nearly 300 days in June 2024. He wrote in his memoir, ‘Stuck in Space,’ per People, "I cannot even begin to convey the feeling of dread that momentarily overwhelms my emotions. It's simply unbelievable.” Later in an interview with the outlet, Butch—who announced his retirement four months after returning home—admitted that when their capsule experienced mechanical failures, he thought he was going to die. He explained, “Certainly all of those thoughts race through your mind, but you compartmentalize and get rid of them because you got to focus on what's going on at the moment.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1429863/butch-wilmore-thought-he-suni-williams-might-die-in-stranded-in-space #enews #butchwilmore #sunitawilliams About: The E!
