Sunita Williams Press Conference: NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore, are currently undergoing rehabilitation after completing an unexpectedly extended space mission lasting over nine months. According to the studies, the bodies of astronauts go through several major and significant changes when it is exposed to microgravity for a longer period. While the body takes its own time to re-adjust to gravity once astronauts are back on Earth, there are some specialized programs planned by NASA to help the astronauts deal with this issue better.
