She and fellow NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore arrived at the orbiting outpost in early June, as test pilots on the first crewed flight of Boeing\u2019s Starliner space capsule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The pair planned to stay at the ISS for only about a week, then return to Earth aboard the Starliner. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/science\/space\/boeing-spaceship-what-went-wrong-nasa-astronauts-rcna167163\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">problems with the spacecraft<\/a> forced the duo to remain in orbit for months longer than anticipated. Wilmore and Williams are scheduled to return home in February in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The beleaguered Starliner mission was a dramatic, monthslong saga for NASA and Boeing. But Williams said she doesn\u2019t see herself as \u201cstranded\u201d in space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cOur mission control team and our management has always had an option for us to come home,\u201d she said. \u201cSo yeah, we came up here on Starliner.

Several news articles suggested the astronaut had lost a significant amount of weight, but the agency\u2019s chief health and medical officer said on Nov. 14 that Williams and the others aboard the space station remain in good health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Williams told NBC News that she is enjoying her time in orbit and is in good spirits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWe\u2019re feeling good, working out, eating right,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have a lot of fun up here, too.
