‘I Weigh the Same’: NASA Astronaut Suni Williams Refutes Tabloid Health Claims (Video)

Don’t believe the tabloids: NASA astronaut Suni Williams says she is doing well aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Last week, media outlets including The Daily Mail and The New York Post published reports speculating that Williams’ health could deteriorate in Earth orbit, citing an outside doctor’s opinion that she looked “skinny” in some recent photos.

NASA officials quickly refuted those claims, saying Williams and the agency’s other three astronauts currently living on the ISS are in good health. And now Williams himself has delivered the same message.

“I’m the same weight I was when I got here,” Williams said in a video interview from ISS today (Nov. 12) in response to a question from the New England Sports Network.
