“No Sympathy For Sunita Williams Because…”: Neil deGrasse Tyson Exclusive

“No Sympathy For Sunita Williams Because…”: Neil deGrasse Tyson Exclusive

New Delhi: Plastic cups and time to readjust to Earth’s gravity – that is what Sunita Williams, the United States astronaut whose eight-day mission to the International Space Station extended to a nine-month stay, will need to recover, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson told NDTV Thursday afternoon. But recover she, and fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore, will, Mr Tyson said, explaining he was never worried about their safety or about them returning home. “They are professional astronauts… they are selected not just because they are physically fit but also because they are emotionally fit, okay?” “And when you are emotionally fit, things like, ‘okay, instead of eight days it’s nine months’… you don’t see them freaking out or reacting in some way that would jeopardise the safety of the crew. So that’s why I was never worried… even if everybody else was. At no time did I have sympathy for them.” “I don’t think they needed sympathy, personally,” he declared.  On Ms Williams and Mr Wilmore’s road to recovery, Neil deGrasse Tyson said, “There is no reason to …

It is a tactical ploy to garner sympathy and legitimacy. The timing of this gesture, following their meeting with the Governor, raises serious questions about their true motivations,” the statement added. Also read | Manipur is …
