Upon looking at the still photos below, captured from an Instagram video of Christina Koch and the other Artemis II crew members at a reception ceremony one day after splashdown, it doesn’t appear that any of the astronauts had balance or walking issues after their 10-day mission to the Moon.

My First-hand Experience

It’s hard to imagine that walking around your home could be such a difficult task until it is.

When I awakened from the nightmare I experienced in 2021, where I was in a coma for 21 days and spent over 90 days confined to a bed, I couldn’t lift my legs or arms. All of my muscles became decommissioned.

I can not explain how frustrating and frightening it is to be completely helpless. I could not turn my body to the left or right. To lift my hands was nearly impossible.

While I realize that the Artemis II crew allegedly experienced weightlessness for 10 days and not for three months, it’s ridiculous, in my opinion, to see the crew walking around normally, light on their feet on stage, and then see Christina Koch nearly a week later being filmed as if she’s unable to maintain balance while performing physical therapy to regain muscle strength and coordination from the aftereffects of extended space travel.

In this December 2021 video of me doing physical therapy, I struggle to walk only a few feet. Without holding onto the bar in front of me and the help of the therapist behind me, I would have instantly fallen to the ground. This video was taken of me one week after I finally sat up in bed and stood on the floor with the help of two people and a support belt.

A person with decommissioned or atrophied muscles improves over time, and the patient’s condition generally improves quickly and doesn’t regress.

Why would an astronaut show no signs of muscle decommission at a ceremony one day after returning from space and a week later have difficulty walking and maintaining proper balance? It doesn’t make any sense whatsoever!

As always, thanks for reading. What do you think about this story and narrative?
