After spending over nine months in space, NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore is facing significant adjustments back on Earth. His daughter Daryn shared on TikTok that while he's 'doing good', the transition is 'rough'. Both Wilmore and his crewmate Sunita Williams will undergo extensive rehabilitation due to muscle and bone loss caused by low gravity. Interestingly, despite this ordeal, astronauts like Wilmore receive only an extra $5 per day for their time in space, amounting to about $1,380 for their extended mission, which is a small addition to their annual salaries.
