Barry “Butch” Wilmore, a NASA astronaut, recently shared how his faith helped him endure a challenging nine-month mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network, the 61-year-old devout Christian spoke about finding peace in space despite unforeseen setbacks that extended his stay.
Wilmore’s mission began on June 5, 2023, when he and astronaut Sunita Williams launched on Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. However, technical delays pushed their return, initially scheduled for June 13, to an uncertain future. They eventually splashed down on a Tuesday evening off Florida’s coast.
Throughout the ordeal, Wilmore leaned on his Christian faith, trusting that God’s plan was at work. His family, too, found peace in knowing that God’s purpose would be fulfilled.
