I thought astronauts were supposed to quarantine on earth before flying to the International Space Station. Is this the beginning of a horror sci-fi movie?

    I really hope so, but it doesn't make the news less extraordinary. > Prior to return, NASA previously coordinated for all four crew members to be transported to a local hospital for additional evaluation https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-spacex-crew-11-mission-returns-splashes-down-off-california/ https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-spacex-crew-11-missi...

      This is probably for privacy. If all four go to the hospital you can't tell which one is sick.

        Good point.
