Astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore recently returned from the International Space Station (ISS) under the Starliner Mission of NASA and Boying. However, despite his hard work and dangerous task, he will not get extra time. That is, Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmore will not get extra time even though they spend 278 days in space. According to the New York Times report, he was given only US $ 5 per day under NASA rules.
In fact, Williams and Wilmore returned to Earth after 286 days on Tuesday. His visit was only eight days, but it was long because of his technical mistake in his spacecraft. NASA spokesman Jimmy Russell said that despite being in space, they are considered civil servants and their travels are considered an official travel order. According to reports, NASA astronauts are public servants, whether they are on earth or in space.
Only $ 5 per day
According to the report, it is clear that astronauts are receiving travel, food and life facilities, it is clear in NASA’s rules, but no extra time, leave or weekly salary is paid. They are only offered only accidental allowance per day, which is for small expenses during the trip. Accordingly, Williams and Wilmore received about 4 1,430 for 286 days.
It is not clear about the accidental costs of what the internal companies have spent while staying 250 miles away by Wilmore and Williams. This allowance is usually for the fees and tips paid to the porter, the goods carrying goods, hotel staff and other service staff.
Sunita Williams said in September, “This is my place of happiness. I want to be in space. It’s funny.”
The lower allowance was earlier received
If the $ 5 allowance per day appears to be low, remember NASA’s astronaut Ketan Anderson, who was in space in 2007, and he got only 20 1.20 a day. A total of 2 172 was obtained. He gave information about this. Anderson wrote on social media in 2022, “This is a government job to get a government salary. But this is my dream job, I am not for money, but for my interest.”
