Doctors raise major concerns about stranded NASA astronauts' health

Daily Mail  

Doctors are raising fresh concerns about the health of NASA's two stranded astronauts who were dealt a major blow last night. But now, NASA says the Starliner crew, along with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, will return to Earth after the four-member Crew-10 mission reaches the space station. While this isn't the longest period of time that an astronaut has spent in space it will take a serious toll on the Starliner crew, That's because 'when you remove gravitational pull you, the body doesn't see a reason to maintain bone density and muscle mass, so it starts to break down very quickly,' Dr Jaquish explained. The agency's chief health and medical officer Dr. James Polk previously said: 'All NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station, including Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, are in good health.
