A NASA insider has provided a concerning update following questions expressed about the health of two astronauts stranded in orbit until 2025.
Not ideal is being stuck in space. Actually, it sounds like the opening of a science fiction horror movie.
On the whole ideal, NASA’s two astronauts Sunita “Suni” Williams, 59, and Barry “Butch” Wilmore, 61 have been really good sportsmen.
Originally launched from Cape Canaveral orbit Force Station on June 5 for what was meant to be an eight-day round trip to the ISS—a mission far beyond that at this point—they were first flown into orbit.
February 2025 sees the pair expected to ride with the SpaceX Crew-9.

Following space agency research, it was decided that returning the two back onboard the Starliner as intended would be too risky given its malfunction on the way to the ISS.
People have been enthralled and worried about the whole experience, looking for updates on how the couple have been doing, living among the stars.
Recent pictures of the couple eating into pizza started to go around last week.
Williams’s slender look made others start to wonder whether she was losing too much weight.
An insider told the New York Post today, November 13, that NASA is keeping an eye on Williams and Willmore over their general health and weight reduction at this stage.

Regarding Willmore, the insider said: “He started with a lot more mass.
“So the significance is not as great. Still, it is occurring and under observation. One notes any alterations in the bodies of the astronauts. And his mass looks to have dropped.
The NASA official clarified that this was not expected and that the space agency is adjusting and ahead-looking to handle any possible problems.
They continued: “Everything is surprising.
Not one of these was expected. Originally scheduled to be there for one week, now it is six months. By now they should be at home, hence we should be preoccupied with other matters. All of it is quite erratic.
Williams downplayed the worries on a webcast, attributing her change in look to fluid shifting in her body from the weightlessness.
“Folks in space, you know, their heads look a little bit bigger because the fluid evens out along the body,” she remarked during a livestream.
NASA stated to LADbible Group: “All NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station undergo routine medical evaluations, have dedicated flight surgeons monitoring them, and are in good health.”
