Barry “Butch” Wilmore‘s family is definitely feeling the space between.
Butch and his fellow NASA astronaut Sunita “Suni” Williams have been stranded on the International Space Station since June due to equipment issues with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft, extending what was to be an eight-day mission indefinitely.
And nearly nine months after his initial scheduled return date, his teenage daughter Daryn Wilmore is speaking out about the ordeal.
“There’s a lot of things that I’m not at liberty to say, and that I don’t know fully about,” she began in an interview with the Daily Mail published on March 6. “But there’s been issues. There’s been negligence. And that’s the reason why this has just kept getting delayed. There’s just been issue after issue after issue.”
And while Butch and Suni are projected to return back to earth this spring, Daryn understands that “things could always change.”
“We’ve had so many changes,” she continued, “and it’s a bit mentally exhausting.”
