After Sunita Williams sets foot on Earth again, she might not be able to walk immediately. After spending months in space, her body will need time to readjust to gravity. However, her biggest challenge is not regaining mobility but surviving the perilous journey back home. The Struggles of Re-Entry Re-entering Earths atmosphere is one of the most dangerous phases of any space mission. Williams is scheduled to return aboard SpaceXs Crew Dragon capsule on March 19, 2025, at approximately 3:27 am IST on Wednesday. As the spacecraft plummets through the atmosphere at thousands of kilometres per hour, it will face extreme temperatures exceeding 1,600°C due to friction. A small miscalculation could prove fatal. Her family is deeply concerned. ‘We are worried about her fly back and the potential challenges she may face during touchdown,’ said her cousin, Dinesh Rawal to PTI. ‘The journey back to Earth is always fraught with danger, and we cant help but feel anxious about Sunitas safety,’ he added.
