Three of the astronauts who were unexpectedly hospitalized after returning from the International Space Station in late October discussed the SpaceX Crew-8 mission during a National Aeronautics and Space Administration news conference on Friday. The trio revealed some anecdotes about the trials of readjusting to life on Earth after spending more than 230 days in space.

The astronauts remained tight-lipped about the nature of the medical issue that had left an as-yet-undisclosed crew member hospitalized overnight. However, they did discuss some of the symptoms they have experienced during the readjustment to life under the effects of gravity.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I바카라 게임 웹사이트m a first-time flyer and fascinated by the readaptation,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, who served as mission commander. 바카라 게임 웹사이트The big things you expect 바카라 게임 웹사이트 being disoriented, being dizzy. But the little things like just sitting in a hard chair 바카라 게임 웹사이트 My backside has not really sat in a hard thing for (235) days.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Dominick added that he was recently sitting outside with his family eating dinner and was forced to lie down on a towel in the yard to remain part of the conversation because his seat proved too uncomfortable.
바카라 게임 웹사이트That wasn바카라 게임 웹사이트t in a book I read,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Dominick joked. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Hey, you바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to space. It바카라 게임 웹사이트s going to be hard to sit on a hard chair.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Dominick and fellow NASA astronauts Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps fielded questions Friday while their fourth crewmate, Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, did 바카라 게임 웹사이트not participate because of his travel schedule,바카라 게임 웹사이트 according to a NASA news release.
바카라 게임 웹사이트The weight and the heaviness of things just is surprising,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Epps said of her experience returning to Earth. 바카라 게임 웹사이트(I바카라 게임 웹사이트ve been) laying any chance I got. But you have to move, and you have to exercise every day, otherwise you don바카라 게임 웹사이트t get those gains. You have to move regardless of how exhausted you feel.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Barratt, Dominick, Epps and Grebenkin spent 235 days in space before returning to Earth with a splashdown landing off the coast of Florida aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule on Oct. 25.
The SpaceX capsule 바카라 게임 웹사이트executed a normal entry and splashdown,바카라 게임 웹사이트 according to NASA, and all four crew members could be seen smiling and waving as they exited the vehicle aboard a recovery ship.
Hours later, however, NASA revealed that the entire crew had been taken to a nearby hospital 바카라 게임 웹사이트 Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola 바카라 게임 웹사이트 바카라 게임 웹사이트out of an abundance of caution.바카라 게임 웹사이트
The space agency later disclosed that one of the astronauts had experienced a medical issue and remained at the hospital overnight.
NASA did not disclose which astronaut remained hospitalized nor did the space agency share any details about the medical issue, saying in a statement only that the crew member was 바카라 게임 웹사이트in stable condition바카라 게임 웹사이트 and 바카라 게임 웹사이트under observation as a precautionary measure.바카라 게임 웹사이트 The three NASA astronauts repeatedly declined to comment on the matter Friday.
바카라 게임 웹사이트In the fullness of time, we will allow this to come out and document it for now, medical privacy is very important to us,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Barratt, a medical doctor and veteran astronaut who piloted the Crew-8 mission. 바카라 게임 웹사이트Medical privacy and the processes we have going on right now negate our ability to (discuss the issue).바카라 게임 웹사이트
Medical checkouts are routine after long-duration missions to space. However, astronauts are typically transported directly back to their home base in Houston after splashdown, rather than diverted to a nearby hospital, for reconditioning as they transition back to Earth바카라 게임 웹사이트s environment.
Boeing Starliner바카라 게임 웹사이트s impact on Crew-8바카라 게임 웹사이트s return
The Crew-8 astronauts launched into space on March 3 and remained in space longer than expected.
Among the roadblocks for their return to Earth were schedule changes related to issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft, which had carried NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the space station on a test flight in early June but was deemed too risky to return its crew back to Earth.
NASA ultimately chose to send back the Boeing spacecraft empty and moved Starliner바카라 게임 웹사이트s astronauts onto the SpaceX Crew-9 mission, delaying the launch of that mission. That schedule adjustment, in turn, delayed Crew-8바카라 게임 웹사이트s return because Crew-9 had to arrive at the orbiting laboratory for a handoff of duties before Crew-8 could disembark.
Weather delays also pushed Crew-8바카라 게임 웹사이트s return into late October.
While the 235-day mission was a few weeks longer than routine trips to the orbiting outpost, it was not a record-setting stay in space for the astronauts.
Astronauts commonly extend their stay aboard the space station for days, weeks or even months as unexpected events arise.
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio, for example, logged a record 371 days in space during a mission that concluded in September 2023. Rubio바카라 게임 웹사이트s stay was extended after his original ride to low-Earth orbit 바카라 게임 웹사이트 a Russian Soyuz capsule 바카라 게임 웹사이트 sprang a coolant leak while docked to the space station.
