While 11 hours seems like a long time for a medical evacuation from the ISS, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said on Jan. 8 that aside from the early departure from the space station (Crew-11 was expected to last another month or so), Crew-11's return to Earth would follow SpaceX's normal undocking and reentry procedures.

NASA says it is continuing to prepare for a possible Artemis 2 launch as soon as February, but with remarkably little publicity for the historic mission.

NASA said the unidentified astronaut is 'stable," but the agency is considering all options, including a possible early return to Earth for Crew 11

Four astronauts are about to become the first humans to venture near the moon in more than half a century since NASA's iconic Apollo era ended.

Nasa is considering an early return of some crew aboard the International Space Station (ISS) because of a medical issue involving one member of a four-strong team. The unnamed crew member is described as stable, but the incident has already led to the last-minute cancellation of a spacewalk.
