Body language expert spots 'secret turmoil' of NASA astronauts
Briefly

After an unexpected 286-day stay in space due to complications with their return capsule, astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore returned to Earth. In a recent Fox News interview analyzed by body language expert Judi James, they exhibited signs of emotional resilience, such as stoicism and loyalty. The pair demonstrated camaraderie, easing the pressure of their challenging experience. However, when pressed about accountability for their delayed return, their mood shifted, revealing underlying tensions. Wilmore acknowledged his leadership responsibilities, emphasizing the importance of communication during such missions, despite his initial lack of foresight.
'Asked if they felt abandoned, both replied with strong signals of rebuttal and denial,' she says. 'Wilmore was the spokesperson here, but Williams's emphatic nodding registered total agreement.'
'There were questions that, as the commander of the spacecraft, I should have asked, and I did not,' he said. 'At the time, I didn't know I needed to, and maybe you could call that hindsight.'
James says the pair displayed clear 'emotional survival techniques', including moments of 'stoicism' and an 'utter sense of loyalty' during the Fox interview.
'The pair also showed signs of 'camaraderie' and 'shared playful fun' - an indication that they may have found solace in friendship during their ordeal.
