Have you ever wondered what happens to astronauts after they come back from space? Well, let's talk about a NASA astronaut who just got released from the hospital. This astronaut had been on an extended space mission and faced some troubles along the way.

First, there were issues with the Boeing capsule, which led to delays. Then, weather problems like Hurricane Milton and rough seas added to the delay. After finally landing in the Gulf of Mexico, four astronauts were sent to the hospital for check-ups.

Three of them were quickly released and headed back to Houston. But one astronaut stayed in the hospital for a bit longer due to an unspecified medical issue. NASA assured everyone that this astronaut is in good health and will soon join the others for post-flight reconditioning.

You see, astronauts need time to readjust to Earth's gravity after living in weightlessness for so long. It can take days or even weeks!

This mission was originally planned to end two months earlier, but the delays pushed it back. The space station is now back to its usual crew size of seven, including four Americans and three Russians.

It's amazing how much planning and flexibility is needed in space missions. Astronauts need support from ground teams to adapt to changes and handle challenges.
