The stranded Space Station astronauts came home Tuesday, and it had people wondering how much they’d get paid for all that overtime. The answer is . . . $5 a day. They’re on salary, making around $150,000 a year. So they don’t get overtime. They just get $5 a day for incidentals while “traveling.”
They were up there 286 days, so that’s $1,430 each. NASA did note that meals, lodging, and transportation are also covered.
