Nasa announces timeline of astronauts' early departure from ISS due to 'serious' medical issue

OMG, like seriously?! Astronauts leaving ISS early? That's crazy talk! I mean, I'm glad they're prioritizing their health and all, but can't they just stay on the station for a bit longer? Like, we're only 5 years into the 25-year mission, you know? And what about the risks of space travel during a medical evacuation? That's like, super concerning . I guess NASA is trying to save some cash by getting out of orbit by '31, but can't they just wait it out?

so like, who would've thought that a medical issue could be major enough to make them leave the ISS? and now they're gonna have this space station evacuated for the first time ever... that's some crazy stuff i mean, can you even imagine having a serious medical issue in space?! it's like your body just isn't designed for zero gravity . anywayz, gotta feel for the astronauts, hope they get better soon

man, this is crazy! Like, what's going on with these astronauts? One minute they're chillin' up in space, and the next, one of 'em gets a serious medical issue and they gotta bail ASAP. I mean, 25 years that station has been up there, and now it's gonna get an evacuation like this? What's next?

And can you believe they have to make this decision on such short notice? Like, what were they even doing when the problem started? Wasn't anyone keeping an eye on each other or something? It's wild. And now they gotta bring it down by 2030... what's gonna happen to all that tech and research? It's just so... unpredictable

OMG, this is crazy ! Like seriously, a "serious" medical issue on ISS? What even is that? Is it COVID or something? They're basically sending the whole crew down early just in case I mean, I get it, their health is the priority and all, but can't they just, like, do a test or two instead of evacuating the whole thing? And what about the others who are staying behind? Are they gonna be okay? This is so unexpected, even with NASA being super prepared and all . I guess it's good they're prioritizing their health, but like, can't we just get some answers first?

this is crazy! i mean, i know nasa has a great team and all but seriously, who knew someone could get sick up in space? it's like, their immune system just gives up or something lol. anyway, i feel bad for the astronaut, hopefully they're okay and not gonna need any major surgery or anything...like, literally just stuck in space with a bad cold or something

I'm not buying it... if this "serious" medical condition is so severe, why are they still planning to land near California on Jan 14th? Isn't that like rushing a patient back from the hospital before they're fully stable? Also, what's with all these unclear diagnoses - shouldn't NASA be more open about what's going on? We don't even know what the condition is yet... This whole thing feels like something's not quite adding up. Sources, please!
