Major health update on NASA's stranded astronauts who are STILL in pain months later

Daily Mail

NASA's astronauts who spent 286 days in space have revealed the painful struggles they've faced after taking a major step forward in their recovery.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who returned from the International Space Station (ISS) in March, have just successfully completed nearly two months of physical therapy.

The astronauts have been going through at least two hours of strength and conditioning training daily, working with NASA's medical team to rebuild muscle mass, restore their balance in Earth's gravity, and prevent further bone loss.

It hasn't been a smooth process, with Wilmore, 62, admitting he still has back pain even after his rehabilitation came to an end.

The astronaut also looked visibly thinner, especially in his face, during his first public appearance since finishing rehab on May 22.

'Gravity stinks for a period, and that period varies for different people,' Wilmore said.

Williams, his 59-year-old co-pilot, added that her recovery from life in space has also been going slowly, as she experienced bouts of fatigue long into NASA's 45-day rehab process.

The fatigue and extreme muscle loss, seen in photos after their landing, left Williams unable to get out of bed easily for weeks after the space mission.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

They were to old to be left in space that long.  They will never fully recover to their pre space health.  They should sue Biden for abandoning them in space.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

A friend of mine was a running buddy with Suni a few years ago. Suni was very fit when she lifted off, but all those months of Biden abandonment did a great deal of harm. I hope she and Butch can regain their strength.
