What Was Life Like as a “Stranded” Astronaut?

What do you think it would be like to experience zero gravity, astronaut food, and nothing but the view of earth spinning below you . . . for nine months?

Well, my friend, astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore, has certainly experienced that! In June of 2024, he piloted Boeing’s Starliner to the International Space Station where, after technical issues, he and his copilot experienced an extended stay until March 2025, when they finally returned safely to our blue planet. What was that time aboard the ISS like for him?

Discover Captain Wilmore’s amazing testimony, from his adventures as a pilot in the Navy to his extended time on the International Space Station, in a brand-new special streaming exclusively on Answers TV. This special program features a fascinating conversation between myself and Barry, and you’ll be encouraged by his Christ-honoring testimony and the way he always gives glory to our Lord and Savior in everything.

You can also meet Barry and two other Christian astronauts (Colonel Jeffrey Williams and General Charlie Duke) at our upcoming Astronaut Encounter at the Ark Encounter, July 12, 2025. Sponsored by our friends at The Master’s University, this event is going to be truly unique. It’s filling up fast (the add-on dinner is already sold out), so be sure to reserve your seats today.
