a. The Earth looked a lot more populated at night - Sunita Williams clarified that during nighttime, she could see lights all over the place, even in areas she had assumed were uninhabited based on her daytime observations.
b. It was an amazing environment in space as we were free from day-to-day worries - Williams explained that in space, she didn't have to deal with the usual daily concerns such as being late for work, choosing what to wear or even combing her hair. These mundane worries seemed unimportant, providing a sense of freedom. Moreover, the observation of the planet and the environment from afar offered a unique perspective.
c. The ISS is a working laboratory to find out how it is to live in space - Williams highlighted that the International Space Station (ISS) served as a stepping stone, or a laboratory, where astronauts could find out what it takes to live in space for extended periods of time.
d. I was happy to be back on Earth, but the first 24 hours were a little tough - Williams was glad to land back on Earth, enjoy the natural air and feel the gravity after being weightless for months. However, the initial 24 hours were quite challenging as the transition back to Earth's gravity caused nausea, especially when she turned her head.
