NASA astronaut Sunita Williams returned to Earth alongside Butch Wilmore after an extended stay in space. Initially planned as a short mission, their stay stretched to nine months due to propulsion issues with their spacecraft. Following their return, actors Chiranjeevi and R Madhavan shared heartfelt messages on social media welcoming them back.
Chiranjeevi took to his X handle and welcomed Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore back to Earth, calling their return both historic and heroic. He highlighted how their mission, originally planned for eight days, extended to 286 days with 4,577 orbits around the Earth.
“HISTORIC & HEROIC ‘HOME’ COMING!!! Went for 8 Days to Space & Returned after 286 Days, after an Astonishing 4577 orbits around earth,” Chiranjeevi wrote.
Describing their journey as “dramatic, nerve-wracking, and thrilling,” he called it the greatest adventure ever. He also praised SpaceX Dragon and Crew-9 for bringing them home safely.
