Sunita Williams, a NASA astronaut, is currently facing a life-threatening situation due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, raising concerns of a reentry disaster similar to Kalpana Chawla’s tragic fate in the 2003 Columbia mission. Chawla and her crew perished when their spacecraft disintegrated during reentry due to damage to the thermal protection system. Williams’ situation underscores the dangers of space travel as NASA and Boeing work to ensure her safe return.
