Indian-origin astronaut Sunita Williams and her fellow NASA colleague Butch Wilmore, currently stuck on the International Space Station (ISS), expressed their anticipation on Saturday for casting their votes in the 2024 US presidential elections from space.
Both astronauts emphasised the significance of fulfilling their civic duty despite being in orbit. Williams mentioned that they had already sent down their requests for ballots, adding, “Looking forward to voting from space, which is pretty cool.” Wilmore also stressed their responsibility as “American citizens,” noting that “NASA makes it very easy for us to do that.”
