💨 Abstract

Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore spent 286 days in space, 278 days longer than planned due to a spacecraft malfunction, but will not receive overtime pay, according to NASA rules. They do get a daily $5 "incidental" allowance. Despite the danger and long duration of space travel, astronauts are treated as government employees on business trips, with no overtime, holiday, or weekend pay.
