There is no more mystery about which astronaut suffered a medical issue aboard the International Space Station last month, prompting NASA’s first-ever medical evacuation.
Astronaut Mike Fincke, 58, has identified himself as the one who was in need of help in a statement published by NASA on Wednesday.
“On Jan. 7, while aboard the International Space Station, I experienced a medical event that required immediate attention from my incredible teammates,” Fincke said in the statement.
Fincke said he’s “doing very well” and is still undergoing “post-flight reconditioning,” though he did not specify what health issue prompted the need for medical evacuation.
And everyone was so convinced that the woman was pregnant. I feel like that says something about them for thinking that was the only possible answer.
Misogynists can be dumb as fuck sometimes.
Everyone? First time that I am aware of this possibility, either I lived under a stone or my sources are far from that “everyone”…
Wait, what the fuck? I mean, I’m not all that surprised that misogyny came out over this, especially these days, but still.
