Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are expected to stay on the International Space Station for at least eight months .
The move to extend the mission was months in the making, but, arguably, not a fully unexpected conclusion.
The ISS has successfully hosted several astronauts staying for a year or slightly less, NASA ISS program manager Dana Weigel said.
NASA has "no specific concerns with eight months , or even up to a year" as long as the crew has exercise mitigations and "rigorous routines" for cardiovascular health and weightlifting.
