Indian-origin NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, currently commanding the International Space Station (ISS), addressed recent health rumors, assuring she maintains the same weight despite physical changes. After spending nearly 150 days in space, Williams’ "sunken" appearance led to speculation about rapid weight loss. She explained that fluid shifts in microgravity often alter astronauts' appearances, making heads seem larger. Williams described her workout routine, including treadmill, bike, and weightlifting exercises designed to support bone density. Williams, along with astronaut Barry Willmore, will return to Earth in February after NASA deemed their original Starliner capsule unsafe for reentry due to technical issues.
