Concerns for the health of the NASA astronauts stranded on the International Space Station have grown after recent images showing one of them looking severely drawn surfaced.

Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have been stuck on the ISS for 6 months (since June 6), when their Boeing Starliner broke down due to technical malfunctions.

The two Americans, who were only slated to be at the space station for eight days, have now spent 153 days among the stars — and doctors are raising concerns about their health after a new photo shows Williams, 59, appearing jarringly gaunt.

The two astronauts are seen chowing down on an ad hoc dinner consisting of uncooked pizza, ketchup, mustard and various sundries.

Though she is smiling and seems to be in good spirits, Williams looks remarkably hollow-cheeked than when she first boarded the orbiting workplace.

“What you’re seeing there in that picture is somebody that I think is experiencing the natural stresses of living at a very high altitude, even in a pressurized cabin, for extended periods,” Dr. Vinay Gupta told the Daily Mail.

Williams’ notably sunken cheeks are likely a result of a “significant” calorie deficit, he added.

The human body burns more calories in space than it does on terrestrial ground due to low temperatures and general harsh conditions, Gupta explained.

🇷🇺 Russia offered to help bring the Astronauts back home but the US ego and pride would not let them.

Despite everything the 🇺🇸 US have done to Russia.

Russians are a classy people.

At least, she made history

No bigger reason to live than this

I used to think they have the tendency to age faster as well(Going by that rubbish they taught us in School about Twin Paradox)

What do they do over there during the day? Just sitting down Idle singing Psalms to Einstein, Tesla and Newton?

Kudos to these Brave guys!!!

The US is an empire in decline .

This is how the Soviets also had their astronauts stranded in space for prolonged time because they couldn't afford to bring them back.

USA and pride. They want to sacrifice the lives of the two astronauts for pride.

That crazy kike woman is the reason they are abandoning the international space station.

She deliberately sabotaged the toilet system and had fecal matter floating everywhere.

Jews will still be Jews even in space.

That crazy kike bitch took a hammer to the haul of the space capsule . They had to restrain her .

She then sabotaged the space station's toilet system that saw fecal matter leak all over the place.

She's the reason they are pulling the plug on the ISS.
