Sunita Williams Goes Walkabout

by | 16th, June 2007

AMERICA does this really well. Adventure. Opportunity. Thrilling.

Sunita Williams, a US astronaut aboard the International Space Station, has set a new record for the longest unbroken space flight by a woman.

As of 0547 GMT on Saturday, she had passed the 188-day, four-hour mark set by Shannon Lucid in 1996.

Mrs Williams, who is of Indian and Slovenian extraction, is due to return to Earth on Thursday on the Atlantis.

Somethings really can inspire…
