Astronaut’s medical scare remains a space mysteryAP, CAPE CANAVERAL, FloridaThe astronaut who prompted NASA’s first medical evacuation earlier this year said on Friday that doctors still do not know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station. The space agency wants to make sure that other astronauts do not feel that their medical privacy would be compromised if something happens to them, he said. NASA is poring through other astronauts’ medical records to see if any related instances might have happened in space, he said. This was space, right?” his colleagues assured him. “You didn’t let anybody down.”Ever the optimist, he is holding out hope that he can return to space one day.
