NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, currently stranded aboard the International Space Station (ISS) due to issues with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft, plan to vote in the upcoming November elections from space. Both astronauts confirmed during a press conference that they have sent their requests for ballots and are excited to participate in the election process, emphasizing the importance of their civic duty. NASA has established a secure system for astronauts to vote from space, which has been in place since 1997, enabling them to receive and return their ballots electronically. The astronauts are expected to remain in space until February 2025, when a SpaceX Crew Dragon will bring them back to Earth. Williams expressed missing her family and pets but remains focused on her mission. This unique voting situation highlights the intersection of space exploration and civic engagement.
