NASA Remains Silent on Why Crew Went to Hospital After Dragon Splashdown
The four astronauts were hospitalized after returning from an eight-month stay on board the ISS.
Crew-8 includes NASA astronauts Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin (who did not take part in the news conference due to his travel schedule). The crew was originally scheduled to return in mid-August but NASA extended the mission to keep the Dragon spacecraft docked to the ISS for Starliner’s stranded astronauts in case of an emergency. As NASA and other space agencies aim to launch crews for long-duration stays on the Moon, and perhaps Mars one day, there’s a lot more research that needs to be done on how human bodies begin to deteriorate in the weightless environment.
