NASA Responds to Stranded Astronauts’ Santa Hat Pic Amid Sunita Williams Weight Loss Theories

NASA Responds to Stranded Astronauts’ Santa Hat Pic: NASA's latest update on the astronauts stranded at the International Space Station entailed a festive rollout as the beleaguered Starliner's Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were snapped wearing Santa hats and other Christmas paraphernalia.

With the duo already having celebrated Thanksgiving in space alongside their other colleagues, they will also lay out their grand Christmas and New Year's menu away from home for the remainder of the ongoing holiday season.

"Another day, another sleigh," NASA captioned a new Instagram snapshot of Williams and American astronaut Don Pettit flashing smiles while wearing red Santa hats. "Don Pettit and Suni Williams, Expedition 72 flight engineer and commander, pose for a fun holiday season portrait while speaking on a ham radio inside the International Space Station’s Columbus laboratory module."

"Did they take Santa hats with them before they launched?" one curious commenter mused on X (formerly Twitter). "Or did they knit them while they're up there?" Another asked: "These the same guys who went up for an 8-day mission in June?" Some couldn’t resist joking, “The Gilligan’s Island theme song is playing in the background.”

“We have a bunch of food that we’ve packed away that is Thanksgiving-ish,” Williams told with Lester Holt on Nov. 27. “Some smoked turkey, some cranberry, apple cobbler, green beans and mushrooms and mashed potatoes.”

In a video posted online, Williams wished everyone on Earth a happy holiday season.

"Welcome to the International Space Station as we prepare for the Christmas holidays. It's a great time up here, we get to spend it with all of our 'family' on the International Space Station. There are seven of us up here and so we're going to enjoy company together," Sunita Williams said.

“One of the best things that I like about Christmas is the preparation and just getting ready, the anticipation, everybody getting together and preparing stuff and just getting ready for the holiday,” she continued.
