NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore both say they'd ride on Boeing's Starliner again, despite the issues the capsule had on its first crewed flight.

During the first quarter of the year, 27 orbital rockets took flight from Florida's Space Coast. That equates to a cadence of 108 launches by year's end — a record-breaking pace that would erase last year's record of 93 annual liftoffs.

All told, Williams and Wilmore traveled more than 121 million miles during their mission, spent 286 days in space, and completed 4,576 Earth orbits.

As a result, NASA is modifying the cargo on its next cargo flight to the space station, the 32nd SpaceX Cargo Dragon mission, due to launch in April. The agency says it will "add more consumable supplies and food to help ensure sufficient reserves of supplies aboard the station" to the Dragon vehicle.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who were stuck in space for more than nine months, are speaking out after their return to Earth.

Wilmore has now logged 464 days in space and made five career spacewalks. He took part in a 2009 space shuttle ISS assembly mission, was a 2014-15 ISS crewmember and served as commander of the extended Boeing CST-100 Starliner CFT mission. He participated in ISS science and technology activities as well as maintenance of the orbital lab.

Butch Wilmore spoke highly of his pastors at a press conference Monday, highlighting the significance of worshiping with his congregation during his nine-month period stranded in space.
