Niemniej jednak widać, że mocno zmęczona... Ciekawe jak będzie przebiegać powrót do naszej ziemskiej grawitacji. 
Fragment artykułu opisujący rehabilitacyjne działania po powrocie z długotrwałych misji, które trwają z reguły ok. 6 tygodni.

Doctor: How NASA's stranded astronauts will be stretchered to hospital in shocking scenes before brutal rehab

NASA astronauts who return from long ISS missions complete a 45 day rehabilitation program that consists of three phases.
After regaining some of their strength, flexibility and their ability to walk during phase one, the astronauts move onto phase two, which adds proprioceptive exercises and cardio reconditioning.
Proprioceptive exercises strengthen the body and improve the mind's perception of its movement and position.
Phase three, the longest phase, focuses on returning the astronaut to their optimal level of physical performance through functional development training.
Most astronauts return to their re-mission fitness level after the 45 days, according to NASA.
But it can take months or even years for some to recover, and research has shown that many astronauts never fully restore their bone density.
Williams and Wilmore could have a particularly difficult time rehabilitating from their longer-than-usual ISS mission.
Dr. Jaquish said they could still recover their pre-flight bone density if they use osteogenic loading, but it won't be easy.
Osteogenic loading involves exercises that strengthen bones by putting stress on them, such as squats, lunges or jumping.
But in order to stimulate bone growth, the astronauts' bones will have to bear a load 4.2 times their body weight, Dr. Jaquish said.
For reference, 'the world record squat is only four times body weight, so the minimum [weight] you need is more load than the world record holders,' he said.
In addition to reconditioning their bodies, Williams and Wilmore may need to rehabilitate their minds, according to psychiatrist Dr Carole Lieberman.
She said the astronauts will need to process intense emotions they may have been feeling during their time on the ISS, such as fear of dying and frustration or disappointment with having to stay in space longer than they planned.
While Williams and Wilmore have repeatedly stated that they have not been stranded or abandoned, Dr Liberman said: 'This may be partly true, but surely both astronauts will at least have some feelings of betrayal, resentment, anger that they either denied or actively hid from anyone on Earth.'

Wyróżnia je to, że są to najstarsi astronauci NASA, którzy doświadczyli tak długiego lotu w warunkach mikrograwitacji.
(
1 przypadek).
Około 55-dniowe przedłużenie lotu spotkało załogę
Crew-8.
Od 2023 6. amerykańskich astronautów doznało istotnego wydłużenia swoich misji kosmicznych za sprawą 2. wadliwych statków kosmicznych.
