Health Worries Rise for NASA Astronauts Stranded on ISS
Concerns have been raised about the health of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, who appears 'gaunt' after being stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for 152 days due to a faulty spacecraft. Dr. Vinay Gupta, a pulmonologist, suggests that Williams may be experiencing weight loss and stress due to the high-calorie demands of space living, which can lead to muscle and bone loss. Women, in particular, face greater challenges in space, including higher muscle loss and metabolic rate changes. Despite these challenges, Williams' life is not considered in danger.
