Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams and colleague Butch Wilmore have been stranded in space for 52 days due to technical issues with their spacecraft, Boeing's Starliner. Originally a 10-day mission launched on June 5, the delay has caused significant health challenges. The prolonged absence of gravity has led to muscle mass reduction and bone density loss, despite regular exercise routines on the ISS. These issues highlight the physical toll of extended space missions. NASA and Boeing are working diligently to resolve the situation and ensure the astronauts' safe return.
