Prayer times literally ‘out of this world’

During the Covid pandemic, Christians had to learn how to engage with church differently because of national restrictions. Now, two NASA astronauts have taken virtual church to a whole new level.

Christians Barry Wilmore and Tracy Dyson, who were among the four astronauts on the Boeing Starliner’s flight to the International Space Station (ISS) in June, are members of Providence Baptist Church in Pasadena, Texas.

Wilmore and fellow lead astronaut Suni Williams were meant to return on the same spacecraft eight days later, but could not because of technical complications with the Starliner during its inaugural mission, such as helium leaks and faulty thrusters.
