After Sunita Williams, NASA now worried about her stranded mission partner's losing body mass
Hindustan TimesEver since new images of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams on the International Space Station have stirred alarm about her significant weight loss, the US government agency is said to have been consistently on top of the case. An employee at the space agency involved in the Starliner astronauts’ mission recently told the New York Post that Wilmore is also considerably losing body mass. NASA employee says Butch Wilmore is also losing body mass like Sunita Williams “He had a lot more mass at the start,” said the NASA source. In this image released by NASA, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, both Expedition 71 Flight Engineers, make pizza aboard the International Space Station's galley located inside the Unity module on Sept. 9, 2024. It’s all very unpredictable.” Sunita Williams downplays the weight loss debate The Post’s new report comes nearly a day after Sunita Williams dismissed all talks around her health as “rumours.” On Tuesday, she attributed the drastic change in her appearance to fluid shifts in space, as she explained, “Folks in space, you know, their heads look a little bit bigger because the fluid evens out along the body.” The contentiously inflated focus on the Starliner astronaut duo’s weight especially blew up after NASA released photos of the 59-year-old Indian-origin astronaut’s photos, in which she appeared gaunt with sunken cheeks.
