Sunita addressed the crew members as her second family. He also thanked the crew for the warm welcome extended to him.

Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are the first astronauts to board the Starliner. They successfully docked the spacecraft with the ISS and completed their 26-hour journey. Due to technical glitches, it took 1 hour more time, otherwise the estimated time for the journey was 25 hours.

The mission was launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Earlier, Space X’s Crew Dragon capsule was the only spacecraft that used to send astronauts to the Space Station (ISS) for NASA. Starliner is its competitor. This spacecraft has been named Calypso which has been developed by Boeing. It faced many obstacles before it took off. But on Wednesday it finally took its first flight. Under the mission, both crew members will spend a week on the ISS. After that, we will again board the Starliner to return on June 14.
