NASA's Sunita Williams Faces Rapid Red Blood Cell Destruction in Extended Space Mission
• Astronaut Sunita Williams' extended stay on the International Space Station due to a malfunctioning Boeing Starliner has raised concerns about her health.
• A NASA study reveals an accelerated rate of red blood cell destruction in astronauts during space missions, reaching up to 3 million cells per second over a six-month period.
• This poses a heightened risk for Williams, potentially leading to anemia and affecting her physical and mental well-being during her prolonged stay in space.
