Astronauts Wilmore and Williams have been stuck in ISS for nine months: ‘Muscle and bone mass are declining’

They have been on each other’s lip for over nine months, breathe canned air and eat liquid food. Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams would only stay in the international space station ISS for eight days, but that became nine months. On Wednesday, the launch of the capsule that would pick them up was again postponed. Cosmonauts do not complain, but it is – especially physically – pretty tough to float around micrsweerkracht for so long.
