NASA Presses SpaceX on Safety After Crew-8 Hospitalization
On Nov 4, NASA's safety panel flagged concerns after four Crew-8 astronauts—Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Alexander Grebenkin—were hospitalized post-235-day Dragon mission launched March 3. Extended due to technical hitches and Hurricane Milton, the mission saw Falcon 9 issues, raising fears rapid launches compromise safety. Former astronaut Kent Rominger urged NASA and SpaceX to prioritize thorough safety protocols over launch cadence. As ISS returns to seven-member crews, maintaining trust is key.
