Thu Nov 14 15:53:14 UTC 2024: ## NASA Reassures Public: Astronaut Suni Williams is Healthy in Space
**Houston, TX** – NASA has issued a statement denying recent tabloid reports speculating about the health of astronaut Suni Williams, currently aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The agency assures the public that Williams is in good health and is being closely monitored by dedicated flight surgeons.
The rumors stemmed from a photo taken on September 24, where Williams appeared thin. However, NASA insists that all astronauts undergo regular medical evaluations, and there are no concerns regarding Williams’ well-being.
Williams, the commander of Expedition 72, arrived at the ISS on June 6 with fellow astronaut Butch Wilmore. Their initial mission was to return after a week, but technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft led to an extended stay, now expected to last until February 2025.
Despite the unexpected duration, NASA states there are sufficient supplies, including food, to support Williams and Wilmore throughout their mission. The agency remains confident in the astronauts’ health and continues to monitor them closely.
