New Delhi: NASA's Astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore are returning to Earth on 18 March. They will land in the sea in Spacex crew capsules. When the capsule is opened after the mission is over, both astronauts will be brought directly to the stretcher. This is not happening due to any medical emergency. Rather it is part of the impact of the spaceflight and the safety protocol. Astronauts cannot run suddenly after spending months in space. There are many changes in the body, which affects balance and muscles.
Body turns into space
Gravity on earth keeps our body under control. But in the space, the International Space Station (ISS) continues to be in freefall towards the Earth. This makes astronauts feel weightless and their body molds itself according to this environment.
Time to Head Home.
