Elon Musk recently posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) of NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who had been stuck in space. In the video, the astronauts thank SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump. Both Musk and Trump, who are close to the space community, uploaded the clip on their respective social media sites—Truth Social and X.
Sunita Williams shares a heartfelt message for Elon Musk and Donald Trump: "Don’t make plans without me"

You think YOUR plans didn’t work out?
Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore thought they were going to space for 8 days.
They ended up being stuck for 286 days.
They were LITERALLY stranded in space.
Imagine this:
👉🏾 You pack for a short trip, but instead, you’re gone for almost a year.
👉🏾 No fresh air. No real food. No way out—just waiting in the void of space.
👉🏾 No clear answer to when (or even if) you’ll make it back home.
And here we are, losing patience when:
- A 10-minute traffic jam ruins our day.
- A deal gets delayed by a few months.
- A rejection email makes us want to quit.
Perspective.
These astronauts had no control over their situation.
They couldn’t just book a return flight.
They had to adapt, stay calm, and trust the process for 286 days of uncertainty.
And they made it.
If THAT isn’t the ultimate lesson in
patience,
endurance, and
problem-solving—
I don’t know what is.
Hats off to these legends for not just surviving but making history.
Next time life throws unexpected delays at us… let’s remember:
At least we’re not stranded in space.
Life will throw curveballs.
Your plans will go sideways.
Things will take WAY longer than expected.
But if these astronauts can survive nine months in space instead of eight days,
then we should too be able to handle few detours in life.
