Picture MUST credit: NASA Four astronauts from US space agency NASA aboard the International Space Station have given a Christmas message from outer space. The crew, part of seven people manning the station, include Suni Williams, 59, and Butch Wilmore ,61, who have been stranded aboard since June where they were due to return to Earth. Because of problems with the Boeing Starliner craft that brought them to the station they must wait until February for a rescue mission by Elon Musk's SpaceX. But they were able to share a special message with fellow NASA crew mates Don Pettit ,69 and Nick Hague, 49. They shared holiday greetings and expressed well wishes to those back home on Earth during a pre-recorded message made on December 23. Apart from the four NASA astronauts there are three Russian cosmonauts, Alexey Ovchinn, 53, Ivan Wagner,39, and Aleksandr Gorbunov,34. Williams, the space station commander, said: ”As we get ready for the Christmas holidays, it's a great time to spend it with all of our family up on the Space Station. "There are seven of us here, and we are going to enjoy it together." Williams said one of her favourite aspects of Christmas is the preparation and anticipation that comes with the holiday season. She added: ”It's all about getting ready and everybody coming together for the holidays.” A NASA spokesperson said: "All seven aboard the seven astronauts and cosmonauts will spend Christmas and New Year's Day orbiting Earth taking time to relax, open gifts, share a meal, and talk to family.” Picture supplied by JLPPA
