During their long stay at the International Space Station, Sunny Williams and Botch Wilmur didn’t get an extra time—but they charged $5 a day above their salaries.
in a statement for New York TimesA NASA spokesman said the pair of stranded strands on the Space X capsule after spending 278 days on ISS, which was expected to deteriorate the work of the Boeing rocket – did not deserve any extra time.
in fact the heavens don’t know about the ISS ever Jim Russell of the Space Agency’s Space Operations Directorate told the newspaper that when you receive additional money on holidays and weekends, as Jim Russell’s spokesman for the Space Space Operations Directorate told the newspaper.

When we said, it could be worse. as now In the statement, NASA’s Clean Anderson won only $1.20 a day for events within 152 days in space station in
“It’s a government work with government salaries,” Anderson wrote in a 2022 Facebook post. “But that’s good, it’s a job I’ve done because I dreamed of it and I loved it so much, not because of the money I can get.
