Dr. John Jaquish warns that by the time astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore return, they might be at extreme risk of fragility fractures and unable to walk unaided on landing. Their long mission, extended due to spacecraft issues, leaves them susceptible to severe physical repercussions, necessitating a long reconditioning period afterward.
Psychiatrist Dr. Carole Liberman expresses concern for the psychological wellbeing of the astronauts. She notes that the uncertainty and continuous delays in their return over 300 days challenge their mental resilience, causing profound stress and anxiety that compounds the physical strains of extended space travel. NASA's lack of transparency, she argues, exacerbates their situation.
