NASA releases new photos of astronauts emerging from medical tests
Briefly

NASA's Johnson Space Center shared images of astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore after their return from a lengthy mission on the International Space Station. They splashed down off Florida and, contrary to expectations, were able to walk on their own immediately, showcasing a surprising recovery from the effects of microgravity. Despite this, the duo is expected to undergo extended rehabilitation to recover fully from muscle and bone density loss, potentially taking over a year. Their condition highlights the intense impact of space travel on human health.
NASA's Johnson Space Center shared that astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore emerged from an airplane walking under their own power after a nine-month ISS mission.
Medical tests revealed that although they walked after returning, astronauts may take more than a year to fully recover from space-induced health effects.
