Astronauts returned early from mission

[Anonymous]

This reminded me of some medical emergencies with crews in Antarctica.

He wasn't sent back. He caused concern, remeasured, was wrong, apologized and stayed.

I am one of the cite posters (there are two of us) and you literally gave the incorrect information and then are annoyed someone asked because IT NEVER HAPPENED.

You know what’s annoying? People who make stuff up and then dig in and insist they are right.
It’s not Fox News here! We like actual facts.

What actually happened?? It's more than a month earlier return.

Are we having real-life Fantastic 4?

And if the cite person weighs in, this is not obscure info.

The question is whether a mission was ever ended early because of medical issues, not whether anyone ever had any medical issues (or apparently extramarital affairs) in space!

The USSR sponsored and tested the first successful sexual conception of a human aboard one of their Soyuz missions.

Can you imagine this is the mission you’re hired for? Ok, your mission is to have sex for procreation.

Bodily autonomy in the Communist state is not a thing.

It looks like it was a guy named Kanai. He reported he'd grown 9 cm and there was some initial concern but it turned out he measured himself wrong.

That’s embarrassing.

Usually it's first hand information from a YouTube video that interviewed the college roomate of the cosmonaut's cousin.

I'm not buying the sick astronaut story. I'm wondering if there was a threat to the station or something. No way they blow millions just to get home a few days early.

His evil SpaceX cannot be defunded fast enough. Just think of how many of the unhoused right here in D.C. could have safe warm homes, using all the money wasted to useless trips to space and useless endless satellites? People are starving around the globe!

A zillion pluses!!

Maybe we aren't getting the real astronauts back.

Kidney stone? Kidney infection?
Afib?

Those are all pretty urgent things. Could be a rapidly presenting and growing cancer. Something that necessitates a sooner return but could wait a few days.
