After spending nine months in space, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams have returned to Earth and are slowly adjusting to life back on solid ground. Williams, in her first social media post since landing, shared an emotional video of her reunion with her beloved dogs. Captioned “Best homecoming ever!”, the video captures a touching moment as her two Labrador retrievers, Gunner and Gorby, joyfully greet her, wagging their tails and jumping around in excitement.

Williams' heartwarming reunion didn’t go unnoticed. Among the many reactions to her post, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, dropped a heart emoji in the comments section. His reaction added to the excitement surrounding Williams’ return, as SpaceX played a crucial role in the mission that brought her and Wilmore back to Earth.

What She Missed Most In Space

During a recent interview, Williams opened up about what she longed for the most while aboard the International Space Station (ISS). “I missed my morning walks with my dogs,” she revealed. Though passionate about space exploration, she admitted that being away from her furry companions, family, and friends was one of the toughest parts of the journey.

Stepping out of her house in the video, Williams was met with pure joy from Gunner and Gorby. As they playfully ran around her, she knelt down, showering them with affection. The astronaut emphasised that, despite the challenges of being apart, her loved ones, including her dogs, understood the mission and were eagerly awaiting her safe return.

She acknowledged their contributions in ensuring the success of their mission and a safe return to Earth. With NASA and SpaceX working closely on missions to and from the ISS, Williams recognised their role in advancing human spaceflight.
