Getting sick on a business trip is the worst.

And that's exactly what happened to one of the US astronauts.

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.

We are about to move into hour 18 of the hangout-a-thon.

Funding levels are far below were it has been in past years, but this is expected. Life is hard and money is tight. Thank you for hanging out with us and learning what it is we do.

We fundraise to continue and expand the science we can bring you. It is not easy and sadly takes money, time, and effort. If you can help, please do.

The Memory of Water is both the spectacular name of a play by Shelagh Stephenson and a real thing chased after by Earth scientists who pry out ancient ice cores, including a 6 million yo sample from Alan Hills Antarctica. https://cosmoquest.org/x/evsn/2025/11/26/water-holds-six-million-year-history/
