"Sunita Williams To Enjoy Fish Curry At Her Home In Space": NASA To NDTV

Speaking before her space sojourn, Sunita Williams, 59, said she is a bit nervous but has "no jitters" of flying in a new spacecraft and once she reaches the International Space Station "it will be like going back home".

NASA's Indian-origin astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams has safely reached the International Space Station (ISS), her third visit to the orbiting platform. This time she flew on a brand new spacecraft, the Boeing Starliner, which she helped design and piloted.

On reaching the ISS, she had a little "dance party" and hugged the seven other crew members. "A big thanks to family and friends who lived this [moment] for a long time. I think you are glad we are not with you anymore and we have another family up here which is just awesome," said Ms Williams, who has been to the ISS twice, traveling once on a shuttle and then aboard a Russian Soyuz vessel.
