Crew 11 will be coming home early. The person is stable, this is not an emergency evac, & no panic is needed. Crew 12 will launch early if ready, & the remaining US crew will be ok.

This week, our own @starstryder is making the visuals for two of our Exoplanet stories. Check out this post on what it takes to bring a lave a world with a thick atmosphere to life.
Recent exoplanet press releases just haven't had the amazing art we're used to seeing and using on @cosmoquest.org's Escape Velocity Space News show.
Lacking in art I like for lava world TOI-561, I made my own. Learn how in this free Patreon post.
