isn’t this standard procedure to get them to a hospital asap?
my bet is on the cosmonaut, he was the least enthusiastic in the photos before descent. alas this just might be cultural
They had the option to return at any moment in case of emergency. They were never "stuck", that's just something the media made up. Emergency evacuation of the ISS is possible at all times, that's a pretty strict rule. They just chose not to, since there wasn't any real reason to. Sure it was unplanned they would stay that long, but those are still two very valuable crew members that can do a lot of work. So they just did their job. And as both of them worked very hard to get there, staying wasn't really a punishment or anything.
In the end they went home on a different vehicle, as the one they arrived on had too many issues to risk it (even though it worked fine in the end, but they didn't want to take unnecessary chances)
It's space, there's tons of space to go. Who knows maybe a billion years from now the turd you release becomes a planet killing asteroid but brings new life to it.
While I understand the desire for medical confidentiality, I think when it comes to space travel, the public, or at very least the scientific community, deserves to know some details. It's not like we're swimming in data about medical emergencies in zero-G, every little bit is important.

No this is great, any space organisms are illegals and ICE should deal with them. Get to it.

Bullshit, no way a helicopter can reach the space station.
lauha@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 248d
It's only a few hundred miles. Many helicopters can fly way farther.

Yes, also because they want to keep them isolated. Usually there's a recovery period after returning from space.

A zero g fetus? That's how you end up with Gyoro Gyoro, people! The limbs don't know where to emerge from!!

Typically female astronauts can't get pregnant.

What ever happened to the astronauts stuck up there for months on end? They should have faked a sickness.

If they did that they would have come down strapped to the floor with cargo netting. There were options but they were real bad.
frongt@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 248d
Eh, it certainly wouldn't be as comfortable as the seats, but I wouldn't say it was "real bad".
I think the bigger problem was that they didn't have enough suits for everyone, so if there was a depressurization event, that would be real bad.
