So it’s no surprise that one of the first questions stranded NASA astronauts Sunita ‘Suni’ Williams and Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore were asked on their return home was about what food they missed most. The pair gave their first press conference last night after splashing down on Earth two weeks ago and taking some time to rest and recover.

There are more thrusters to fall back on, but as the pair of astronauts approached the ISS in Starliner, they lost another one. At that point, they should have aborted the mission and returned home, because a loss of any more thrusters put them at risk of losing control entirely.

Astronaut Suni Williams returned home last month after an unexpected extended stay in space lasted nine months. She was greeted at her home in Houston by her two dogs. She shared a video of the happy welcoming, saying it was the best homecoming ever.
