It's like a mini emergency room up there.

Every single astronaut that goes up, every single one has the equivalent of like a paramedics training.

So they're all like, they all know how to handle health emergencies.

And actually, I don't know the, usually there is a medical doctor on board.

Not every mission has one, but often astronauts come from the medical field.

So, you know, you have all, and plus you're in connection to the ground.

You have a full doctor group of a team of doctors on the ground who are able to help you with whatever issues you have.

And they just, they reached a point where the issue the astronaut was having was,

uh could not be dealt with any further with the equipment on board or the expertise there or on the ground and so they had to come out they had to get in the capsule and come home and deal with it so first time it's ever happened they have done a press conference since and what i can tell you is that we don't know who it was and we don't know what the issue was uh they're keeping that pretty tight-lipped why the secrecy that is an interesting question and you know i think that you know

So I don't know, right?

I don't know why the secrecy here, but you're protecting the... Health is a personal thing, right?

And I mean, you don't get to know the doctor's reports of all of your friends, right?

And so you shouldn't get to know that of public figures either.

So I think that's...

That's sort of like where that's coming from.

You know, they have the right to that privacy.

But they did say the one thing they said about it is that there is an onboard and ultrasound device that was very useful to them.

So they were doing internal scans of whoever this person was.

And then they had to come home and manage it.

Probably it isn't.
