NASA latest: Stranded NASA astronauts speak from International Space Station

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams originally planned to go to space for just eight days in June last year. But they got stuck on the ISS when their Boeing Starliner spacecraft experienced problems. They told a news conference they "do not feel like castaways".
