An astronaut lost the ability to speak for twenty minutes in orbit. Months later, no one can explain why. The real story is what that silence exposed about the architecture.
I'm an expert on this, and when they said he had lost his speech, I thought he had a stroke. I had a brain bleed almost 7 years ago. No pain. For the first 3 days afterward, I could only speak gobbledy-gook. On the 4th day my speech became normal...no treatment, and where my stroke occurred in my brain, surgery was not an option. There's more, but I'll leave it at that. Suffice to say...I shouldn't be here.
It is just baffling that 50s and 60s scifi movies can get it right but our actual space programs cannot. We need crew modules that spin about an axis and create a gravity environment so there is an up and down which human bodies need. https://imgur.com/a/gHTguSn

Thank you for sharing. That entire ordeal must have been really troubling. We are grateful you are here.
The questions are:
-Whether or not NASA screend him for a Patent Foramen Ovale after his return to earth?
-Whether NASA has gone ahead to screen all astronauts currently in their program?
-Whether they’ve added this screening to their protocols for qualifying future astronauts?
