As Butch Wilmore floats away from the stars, I can't help but feel the weight of his departure. Nine unexpected months in space—months filled with wonder and isolation, yet also a reminder of how fleeting connections can be. It’s a bittersweet moment, watching a hero step back into a world that feels distant and cold. His journey was a testament to the human spirit, yet here I am, grappling with my own loneliness, feeling as if I too am adrift in the void. The silence of space echoes the silence in my heart. 🌌💔 #ButchWilmore #NASA #Retirement #Loneliness #SpaceJourney
