After their SpaceX capsule splashed down off the Gulf Coast of Florida, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were flown by helicopter to NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. There, they will undergo thorough physical evaluations and reunite with their families as part of NASA's standard procedures.

Upon immediately landing, there is always the risk of dizziness and nausea due to the journey into Earth, which is why there were stretchers Williams and Wilmore were placed on upon landing. As part of NASA protocol, it can take least two or three days to settle, according to astronaut Tim Peake.
