Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams, serving as ISS Commander, will welcome 2025 uniquely by celebrating New Year 16 times in space. The Expedition 72 crew will witness 16 sunrises and sunsets as they orbit Earth at 400 km altitude every 90 minutes. Initially planned for 8 days, Williams’ mission aboard Boeing's Starliner has extended until March 2025 due to technical challenges. The crew will enjoy special meals, connect with loved ones via video calls, and continue vital scientific research. Williams, describing space as her "happy place," embraces this rare experience, showcasing the resilience and joy of human space exploration.
