NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore held a press conference after returning from space.
In this press conference, Sunita Williams also discussed about her return from space to earth and India.
She said, "It is really a miracle how our body adapts to change. When I came back on the first day, we were all a little shaky. It is really amazing that in just 24 hours our nervous system starts working. Our brain understands what is happening."
'I hope to come to India'
During this press conference, Sunita Williams was also asked a question about India.
To which she replied, "India is a wonderful country. Every time we passed over the Himalayas, Butch Wilmore captured some of the most beautiful views of the place in his camera."
Regarding her plans to visit India, Sunita Williams said that she hopes to come to India. She said that she will visit her “father's home country" India and share experiences about space exploration with people there.
Sunita's father Deepak Pandya was born in Gujarat and came to the US in 1958 where he did his internship and residency training in Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. Sunita was born in Ohio to Deepak and Ursuline Bonnie Pandya.
