Astronauts stranded: American astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been stuck in space for nine months due to technical problems. The two astronauts had set off on an 8-day mission, but they have not yet returned.
Astronauts stranded, However, a space plane, Crew-10, has recently been sent for their return, which is expected to bring Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore back to Earth.
But after spending so many months in space, the journey back to Earth for the two astronauts may prove difficult and painful because it is being told that after spending several months in space, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore may develop a condition called “Baby Feet.” This means that the soles of their feet will become soft and sensitive like a small child, which may cause difficulty in walking.
When we walk on Earth, our feet face the resistance of gravity and friction. This thickens the skin on the soles of our feet, which acts as a protective layer. This helps protect us from pain and discomfort, and also protects our feet from wear and tear.
In addition to baby feet, being in space without gravity can also cause severe bone loss that cannot be repaired. According to NASA, astronauts go into space every month and if they do nothing to stop them, their bones lose about 1 percent of their density. Muscles, which are normally activated by walking around on Earth, also weaken because they no longer have the ability to work.
In addition, the body’s blood volume decreases in space because the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood without gravity. Blood flow also changes, slowing down in some areas, which can lead to blood clots.
