During a live update, the astronauts discussed their Crew Flight Test mission and reassured that they could undock and return if necessary. Both astronauts emphasized their trust in the spacecraft and the decision-makers overseeing their mission. The astronauts have been in space longer than planned due to these issues, with weeks of delays, but they remain optimistic about the spacecraft's performance.
