Indian-American Astronaut Sunita Williams had a touching reunion with her family as friends and supporters gave her a rousing welcome here, a day after her return from a record-setting task to the International Space Station.
"This gravity thing takes a tad getting used to," said Williams, a little shaky after months of lightness, after landing with her six crewmates on a NASA Gulf stream jet at Ellington Field in Texas. Several hundred admirers, many of them family, friends and colleagues from NASA's Johnson Space Centre, met at Ellington Field to welcome Williams and the six Atlantis astronauts.
"I'm not certain what I should say. There are so many to thank," said Williams her voice breaking with emotion.
