NASA astronauts leaned on International Space Station (ISS) was photographed by them Thank you Daily meals – among the growing concerns about their health.
Sunita Williams, 59, and Butch Wilmore, 61, who have been in space for 175 days, revealed that they will eat brussels sprouts, butternut squash and smoked turkey that has been dehydrated before going to the ISS.
“Our staff here just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and family on Earth and everyone who helps us,” Williams said in a video.
The NASA astronauts have attracted the attention of the public and the interior authorities space agency at their peak during their long stay on the road.
Williams caused panic with his weight in the September photo, doctors tell DailyMail.com that she looks ‘weak.’
And NASA insiders revealed last month that their medical team was managing Wilmore for similar reasons.
Williams and Wilmore were joined by astronauts Nick Hague and Don Pettit in the video to share their holiday menus with friends and family back home.
‘Our food might look a little different,’ Mr Hague admitted as about half a dozen, closed white sheets floated up in microgravity, containing ‘all the things we’ll enjoy on Thanksgiving.’
‘Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, apples and sweet potato wedges,’ NASA astronaut Nick Hague (bottom left), now on his third trip aboard the ISS, explained as he handed out white sealed packets for the astronauts’ round party. . microgravity. ‘It’s going to be delicious’
Smiling behind Hague (far left) on a space station vacation were two NASA astronauts (top row) who have been stationed on the ISS since June – after the launch of Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft that ran into problems and emissions.
ISS astronauts have mostly dehydrated meals in vacuum-sealed packets that need to be rehydrated – and if necessary reheated – in aircraft-style machines before drinking.
As a byproduct of the orbiting laboratory’s fuel cells, water is an abundant resource, but dehydrated food also helps reduce the weight of the space station, NASA said.
Williams offered more of the Thanksgiving meal for the crew on Wednesday, including green beans, mushrooms, mashed potatoes and apple cider.
“Our air traffic control teams have given us tomorrow, so our plan, as usual, is to get up and exercise, do turkey practice, watch the Macy’s (Thanksgiving) Day Parade,” he said. NBC News.
Williams, however, emphasized that he does not consider himself a “missing” person in space, adding that NASA has a plan if he or any other astronaut aboard the ISS needs to return to Earth.
“Our mission control team and our supervisors are always there for us to come home,” he said. ‘So yes, we came here on the Starliner.
Above the NASA astronauts who went missing during a meal on September 24, 2024. A doctor at the time complained about Sunita’s health, saying the photo showed her looking ‘weak.’ Williams says he found muscle on the ISS, criticizing the ‘fluid shift’ phenomenon.
‘We’re going back on the Dragon, but there’s been a plan on how to get home.’
Williams and Willmore have been have been stationed on the ISS since Starliner brought them there on June 6.
While Starliner returned to Earth without its crew on September 7, the two continued to wait for SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission. to carry them to the ISS and bring them home no later than February 2025.
However, many studies have shown that sitting still for too long can lead to weight gain.
During long-duration ISS missions, crews can lose about five percent of their original body weight, mostly due to the loss of muscle and bone tissue that occurs naturally due to microgravity.
Wilmore, according to a NASA official who declined to be named, ‘was very bulky in the beginning,’ coming in at six feet tall and over 210 pounds.
‘Soh, it’s not a big deal,’ the worker said New York Post.
Despite what seems obvious to those watching the NASA videos, Williams came out earlier this month denying ‘rumours’ that she has lost weight when he was unexpectedly in the ISS.
Williams claimed to have found muscle on the ISS, and referred to a “fluid shift” to explain its appearance in the images.
