Sunita Williams faces potential brain damage risk due to extended space mission
Washington DC: NASA is facing a significant challenge as the return of astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station (ISS) remains uncertain.
Initially planned as a brief mission aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule, technical issues have forced NASA to consider extending their stay until early 2025.
This unplanned extension has raised concerns about the astronauts' safety and the implications for future space missions. Experts warn that the prolonged mission could increase the risk of brain damage due to potential oxygen deprivation and other factors in space.
Neurologists have pointed out that even brief periods of oxygen deprivation can lead to irreversible brain damage, while the extended exposure to space radiation could further exacerbate neurological risks.
Additionally, the emotional toll of isolation and the confined living conditions of space missions may lead to mental health issues such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
