Mumbai, March 12: After nearly ten months in space, NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally set to return to Earth on March 16. Originally planned as an eight-day mission, their stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) was prolonged due to technical issues with Boeing슬롯사이트™s Starliner spacecraft. But after such an extended period in microgravity, how will their bodies adjust to Earth슬롯사이트™s gravity? Experts say Williams might develop physical challenges, including dizziness, nausea, and a strange condition called "baby feet." The recovery process can take weeks as their bodies readjust.

As per a Money Control , former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao explained that prolonged space travel affects the human body in unexpected ways. One of the most peculiar effects is 슬롯사이트œbaby feet,슬롯사이트� a condition where astronauts lose the thick calluses on their soles due to weightlessness. Astronaut Terry Virts compared the feeling to having the flu, describing extreme discomfort and balance issues.

What is 'Baby Feet'?

"Baby feet" is a condition experienced by astronauts after prolonged space missions, where the thick calluses on their soles disappear due to the lack of friction and pressure in microgravity. In space, astronauts do not walk but instead float, causing their feet to soften over time. Once back on Earth, their feet become extremely sensitive, similar to that of a newborn. This makes standing and walking initially uncomfortable, requiring time for the skin to toughen up again.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Who Spent Longest Time in Space?
