In a video on YouTube, published by NASA, children sit in elegant classes at the Sunita L. Williams Elementary School in Nidham, Massachusetts. You can see them waving their small hands on the camera, bringing the image about 250 miles above the ground to the international space station.
They were speaking in December without anything but Sonita Williams, bearing the name of the school and an astronaut at the space station.
It should be at home already. A series of technical failures that take eight to nine months have been extended, as some news organizations and politicians have led tension and blame.
Why did we write this
Focus a story
It was reported that the astronauts were “cut off” in space. But their training and personality may tell the story of the ability to adapt and strength.
But the direct broadcast of Mrs. Williams with these young students gave a glimpse of another aspect of the epic.
She was suspended in precise gravity, wandering Mrs. Williams around the stuffed Wildcat, the amulet at school. I was asked how astronauts celebrate their birthdays at the space station.
“Of course, we still have to work, but the crew on board is trying to make it very distinctive, and we have become good in making cakes here,” she says. They use pudding for frosty and cinnamon cakes for the cake.
She adds that her birthday, which came in September, coincided with international conversation like Pirate Day.
An astronaut floats by allowing “Arggghhh” persuasion.
Astronomers admit that it was difficult to be unexpected for a long time. But their experience does not match the headlines that say that Mrs. Williams and Bach Wemor were “cut off”, or President Donald Trump on social media that astronauts “were abandoned in space.”
Now, the task is preparing to return them, Perhaps later this week.
Their journey, to some of those who followed it closely, reveals less about NASA’s mission, which made a mistake and more about the personality of flexibility.
Isolation and imprisonment
Lawrence Palinakas, a professor of public health at the University of California, San Diego, says imprisonment and isolation is among the best psychological challenges that astronauts can face. He says that the changes in the plan, such as the extended residence of Mrs. Williams and Mr. Wilmor, can make these challenges more difficult to tolerate.
When a few people are stuck with each other, trivial behaviors can become – like how someone chews, or does homework – a source of irritation. Space pioneers also lack privacy. They are constantly surrounded by colleagues of the crew, watching them control the task, and talking to correspondents, classrooms and researchers.
At the same time, although they can talk to the family during the day, they are physically isolated from the ones they love.
“In the event of an unplanned or unexpected thing, the medical emergency, for example, or the death of a member of his family, is unable to be physically, it can be a source of tension,” says Dr. Palinakas.
NASA’s health and behavioral performance unit lower stress. In 2004, NASA staff organized a video call for an astronaut to see his new baby. In 2003, they helped a wedding to move forward as planned while a husband was soon in space. Wedding pictures of his wife, who carries a size of the acid cardboard for the astronaut.
“The Longist Woadbye,” says IDO Mizrahy, director of documentary for the year 2023.
Mr. Mazrai says that the Netherlands, who was a psychologist in NASA for decades, searched for people with “this innate desire to explore, which helps to calm itching, pain and other things that could be really difficult in stomach for other people.”
He says that astronauts on ISS should be able to weather as well. “Suddenly, you seem to fail most of the time. Everything is difficult. Going to the bathroom is difficult. Stay away from your daughter is difficult.”
“There was a certain sadness at home.”
The most difficult aspect of the space of some astronauts may return to Earth, not staying in the task for a longer period than expected.
The former astronaut Kadi Coleman, author of the book “Space Participation: Space Pioneer for the Mission, Wonder, and Change”, does not worry that Mrs. Williams and Mr. Wilmor “cut off” or needed “rescue”. She knows them.
In fact, she says, “This opportunity was not allowed to” stay in space, “then it was so great that they did.”
Over the past few years, she says, her mission was to transfer the shuttle to and from the space station, and he spent only eight days or so at one time, without the opportunity to live there and conduct experiments. Mrs. Coleman, a “happy place”, adds to Mrs. Williams.
Mrs. Coleman was in space several times and was shown at “Space: The Longest Goodbye”. “I felt that everything I did was meaning,” she says. When it’s time to return, part of which wanted to stay longer.
She admits a magnificent extent that she has reunited with her family. But “there was a certain sadness at home.”
“The astronaut, leaving behind an experience that is difficult to put in words and now you must return to regular things, such as dinner and watching TV,” says Mr. Mizrahi.
However, after adapting to life on Earth, astronauts can be left with permanent psychological elasticity, says Dr. Palinakas. While they are in space, they were forced to rely on others, remain flexible, and remain severe isolation and imprisonment.
He says that many are due to the belief that “if I can deal with this, I can deal with anything.”
“Sony is a living example of dreams that take place”
At Nidham Primary School, the narration is the opposite of what dominated the news course.
“This is unexpected, but she trained to do so, and she has rulings on the space station, and she does something she enjoys,” says director of the director, Bruneson, that she and other adults tell children.
In 2017, the school was named after Mrs. Williams, who graduated from the public school area in 1983. Mrs. Williams plans to visit in the near future. Mrs. Bronson invites Mrs. Williams to be a “natural teacher”. When you come in the past, it emanates in different semesters, and participates in all ages.
“Sony is a living example of the dreams that take place,” says Ms. Bronson. “When you are a child, you have great dreams in functions and things that you may do in this life.”
Mrs. Bronson says that Mrs. Williams shows children that, too, they can do something “amazing”.
