Sunita Williams Breaks Women's Spacewalk Record During Extended ISS Stay

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams turned an unexpected setback into a record-breaking achievement. Originally scheduled for an eight-day mission to the International Space Station, Williams ended up staying for months due to technical problems with her spacecraft.

Rather than viewing the extended stay as a hardship, Williams made the most of her time, conducting extensive research and spacewalks. She broke the women's record for total spacewalk time, accumulating 62 hours outside the station.
