‘A wake-up call’: MUSC aerospace researchers on astronauts’ early landing
When the NASA SpaceX Crew-11 team landed this morning off the coast of San Diego, it marked the first time that astronauts returned to Earth from the International Space Station early for a health reason. NASA isn’t identifying the astronaut with the medical concern or saying what the problem is, but its administrator said all four crew members are “safe and in good spirits.”
The unprecedented event raises a lot of questions but also an important point, according to the director of the Medical University of South Carolina’s Division of Aerospace Neurology and Human Performance.
“As NASA’s chief medical officer said, ‘This is supposed to happen once every three years.’ So the fact that it hasn't happened in the space station’s 25-year history is pretty incredible,” said Mark Rosenberg, M.D.
