They’re still figuring out what happened. When they know, we’ll know. NASA does not have authority to unilaterally release medical information of its astronauts, so there’s nothing to say until the problem is identified.
- perihelions 2y ago- "NASA does not have authority to unilaterally release medical information of its astronauts" Just to clarify—and I'm not denying her right to choose to do that—the person quoted in the article as citing "medical privacy" is one of the astronauts who was hospitalized.
- tiahura 2y agoYou’re honestly telling me, an astronaut who’s been on nasa tv talking about bodily functions in space with school kids for 6 months, suddenly clams up and doesn’t want anyone to know they got hurt when the SpaceX seatbelt failed?
- sandworm101 2y agoYes, especially when the possible injury may mean the end of thier career as a flying astronaut, which could be an issue here.
- tiahura 2y agoWhere does he say they don’t know what happened? He said they’re piecing things together, i.e. they’re still working on their story.
- adastra22 2y agoThat's not what those words mean.
