Why is that disturbing? Explain it to me like I'm five.


You need personal privacy explained to you?

You also probably want to control what people do with their bodies.

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.

A man astronaut and pregnancy? Guess anything can happen out there


One US astronaut is male, the other female.


Didn't they say it was an American and a man? So it's that dude. Unlikely he is pregnant.

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


This is exactly why at least two people (me and another poster) asked for a citation. The PP got the facts wrong.

Not everyone is willing to live in a facts-optional world.

Isn't one US astronaut on the crew female? Zena Cardman. Other one is Michael Fincke.

Returning today. Weren't only two of the 7 Americans? They said it was an American. Know who it is but not condition. Condition is stabilized.

One Apollo astronaut was grounded because the affair he was having while married was not kept secret. Other astronauts had less than perfect marriages but kept them quiet.
