Suni Williams, a Nasa astronomer on the International Space Station, is good and not suffering from any health issues, Nasa’s top health official said Thursday.
News reports that suggested Williams was having health issues while he was unplanned to spend an extended period of time in orbit prompted the uncommon declaration. That in turn sparked widespread rumours on cultural advertising.
Williams, 59, addressed the issue immediately Tuesday during an interview with New England Sports Network. ” I think there’s some speculations around outside there that I’m losing pounds and stuff”, she said. ” No, I’m actually right at the same number”.
Due to engine issues with the Boeing Starliner aircraft that brought them that in June, Williams is one of the two pilots whose stay at the area station was extended from eight times to eight weeks. Nasa made a desperate effort to ensure that Williams and Butch Wilmore, the various astronomer, were no stranded, and that they would remain aboard until February when they joined the space station crew. Instead, they will travel home on a SpaceX Crew Dragon aircraft.
Williams and Wilmore were seen eating pie on the space station in a photo released by NASA in late September. Williams ‘ face appeared slender and sagging. An unnamed Nasa worker who claimed she had lost considerable body mass was quoted in a New York Post article last week, a source who confirmed this.
According to the Post content, Williams had been unable to consume enough energy to keep her bulk. Nasa doctors worked with her for a month to help her keep her size.
In an interview, Dr James D Polk, the general health and medical officer for the space firm, said that was not correct.
” I’ve known Suni 20 times, and I’ll show you, Suni looks the same to me”, he said. ” She’s in extraordinary wellbeing right now”.
Polk reported that the space station’s entire crew was performing properly. During her picture looks Tuesday, and another Thursday, Williams did not appear emaciated.
