NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and her team were originally scheduled for an eight-day stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) after arriving on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. However, due to technical issues with the Starliner, their return has been delayed until early next year. This extension means Williams and her team could face potential challenges, including distorted time perception during their extended six-month mission.

Reports from the ISRO Chief have shed light on the complications faced by astronauts in space, emphasizing the harsh environment and its impact on the human body. The mission's delay underscores the risks involved in space expeditions and the importance of addressing technical hitches promptly to ensure astronauts' well-being.
