DC Edit | A Welcome Return From Space

Deccan Chronicle  

American astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams returned to earth safely after spending 286 days in space — 278 days longer than anticipated when they were launched into space to test Boeing’s Starliner crew capsule on June 5. On both occasions, the prolonged stay in space was caused by the malfunction of spacecraft — because of an internal issue for Boeing Starliner and an accident caused by space junk to Rubio’s Soyuz MS-22. The return of the astronaut duo was facilitated by SpaceX, which sent its four-member Dragon capsule with two empty seats to the International Space Station. Past studies indicated that humans are not made to live in zero gravity and an extraordinarily long stay could deteriorate bone density, muscle quality and impact brain fluids, potentially altering brain structure.
