NASA Confirms 70-Year-Old Astronaut Don Pettit Is Doing Well Despite Looking Frail After Landing

Don Pettit, NASA’s oldest serving astronaut, safely returned to Earth on his 70th birthday after a 7-month mission aboard the ISS. He appeared slightly frail during a live broadcast but was confirmed in good health by NASA. The veteran astronaut quipped that he might need to empty his stomach as it wasn’t intended for space travel. With over 590 days in orbit, Pettit surpassed many others and remains dedicated to exploring space.
