Unprecedented move: NASA is sending Crew-11 home from the ISS over a month early after a medical scare involving one astronaut. NASA won’t share details, but says the crew member is stable — a 1st-of-its-kind controlled medical evac from orbit.
NASA’s Dr. Polk says the astronaut should be evaluated on the ground since ISS lacks “the complete amount of hardware” you’d find in an ER for a full medical workup.
