Sunita Williams' Thanksgiving plans in space are revealed to be "not stranded.

                                                                       

                                                           

 Sunita Williams and her coworkers at ISS gave a message of gratitude. She disclosed the details of their celebration in a different interview. 

In preparation for weightless Thanksgiving celebrations in space, NASA astronauts are getting ready. Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore will both follow a similar pattern, albeit in different ways, during a family-oriented holiday that typically calls for large household gatherings, even if they are only to enjoy football marathons and parades on TV. Since their early June departure, the original Boeing Starline pair has been residing and working aboard the ISS for almost six months. They still do not, however, consider themselves to be "stranded." Despite her lengthy intergalactic exile, the Indian-origin space hero once called space her "happy" abode.

This year, Williams will be busy sharing holiday customs and breaking bread with her crew colleagues, but she gave a preview of their festive day.

Sunita Williams' Thanksgiving dinner

Williams put an end to weight loss rumors and conjectures earlier this month about a purported food shortage brought on by their mission's extraordinary extension. In her interview with NBC News on Wednesday, November 27, she subtly reiterated the same message, saying, "We have a bunch of food that we've packed away that is Thanksgiving-ish." The ISS crew will be served “some smoked turkey, some cranberry, apple cobbler, green beans and mushrooms and mashed potatoes,” she declared.

Like one's plans for the day on Earth, Williams acknowledged that she will watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade before sharing a feast with her coworker Wilmore, SpaceX Crew-9 members Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov (who are scheduled to disembark for Earth with them, not before February 2025), and other people.

                                                                

Sunita Williams says there is no need for concern.

The 59-year-old astronaut refused to be abandoned in spite of the severe failures their battered Starline spacecraft had to endure, such as helium leaks and thruster faults.

"Coming home has always been an option for our management and mission control team," she stated. "So, yes, Starline brought us up here. There has always been a plan for how we will get home, even though we are riding a dragon.
