Nearly 60 percent of astronauts have “space herpes”

August 01, 2019 -

Researchers found that seven percent of the astronauts who previously reported herpes infections in the past suffered a new outbreak while in space. Furthermore, 57 percent of the participants displayed much higher levels of the viruses during missions than they did on Earth.

Herpes viruses cause cold sores, glandular fever, and shingles. When their host is healthy, the pathogens enter a dormant state and bide their time. Once the host gets exhausted or stressed, ...

Researchers discover how space travel weakens astronauts’ immune systems

June 25, 2021 - astronauts have weak immune systems. This weakened state was observed in more than half of the astronauts who participated in NASA's Apollo missions. They got sick with the common cold or other infections within their first week back on Earth. In some astronauts, dormant viruses, such as the chickenpox virus, also became active again. (Related: Space cooties: Should astronauts be worried about fungi on space stations?)

TRANSTRONAUTS: Transgender astronauts and problems with space balls (SATIRE)

January 27, 2021 -

Answer: Transtronauts!

Sadly, they end up having problems with space balls and the like because believing you're a woman when you're really a man doesn't solve the problem of how the space suit fits.

Especially in the crotch region.

Men and women really do have different biology, it turns out, and there's no better place to confirm that than walking through space in a spacesuit that was outfitted for the wrong gender. Yikes!

SpaceX capsule rescues stranded astronauts at the International Space Station

March 19, 2025 -

The crew of the SpaceX Dragon capsule successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) early Thursday, March 13, retrieving two astronauts who had been stranded in space for an unexpected nine months.

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore were greeted by a unique welcome from their ISS crewmate, Nick Hague, who donned an alien mask upon their arrival. The mission, which also delivered four new astronauts ...

2 Astronauts onboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft are stranded in space

July 10, 2024 -

Two astronauts onboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft are currently stranded in space.

U.S. astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore have now spent more than a month in the International Space Station (ISS) as engineers work out the problems with Starliner. The two astronauts were only supposed to be on a short test flight to the ISS.

After two trips to the launchpad that ended in scrubs because of technical difficulties, ...

Glaciers on Mars could help astronauts survive on the planet

June 02, 2021 - astronauts could readily access and utilize water in its solid form for drinking water, fuel and irrigation. (Related: NASA scientists discuss the feasibility of humans colonizing Mars.)

"Engineers are always showing us that they can do the impossible," Hibbard said. "They are currently coming up with multiple ways to access buried water ice for multi-use purposes. Wherever NASA and SpaceX decide to land, we know they will be able to find a way to access the ice."

NASA developing technology to help find astronauts lost in space

September 10, 2018 -

If outer space is like the sea, then it's a foggy one thanks to all the X-ray radiation coming from all directions. But help is on the way. Much like how ancient mariners used the stars as navigation points, astronauts will one day be able to use a particular type of star to guide their way.

Millisecond pulsars are small as stars go. But they spin very fast and release X-rays with clockwork regularity, making them very distinct entities in a star field.

Radiation-metabolizing Chernobyl fungus could shield astronauts on deep-space missions

December 11, 2025 -

Nearly four decades after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, scientists have uncovered a remarkable organism thriving in the irradiated ruins – a black fungus that not only survives extreme radiation, but appears to feed on it.

This discovery has sparked groundbreaking research into harnessing its properties for space exploration, potentially revolutionizing how astronauts are shielded from deadly cosmic rays. In the abandoned reactor halls ...

Chinese astronauts stranded in space after orbital debris strikes return capsule

November 08, 2025 -

Three Chinese astronauts are temporarily stranded aboard the Tiangong space station after their return capsule was struck by suspected orbital debris, forcing an indefinite postponement of their scheduled return to Earth.

The Shenzhou-20 crew—commander Chen Dong, fighter pilot Chen Zhongrui and engineer Wang Jie—launched in April for a six-month mission aboard China's Tiangong space station. They were set to return on November 5, but ...

SpaceX brings stranded astronauts home after nearly 10 months in space

March 19, 2025 -

After a mission that was supposed to last just one week turned into a nearly 10-month odyssey, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore, 62, and Suni Williams, 59, finally returned to Earth on Tuesday.

The duo, along with fellow astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, splashed down safely in the Gulf of America off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. The dramatic rescue mission, orchestrated by ...

Space cooties: Should astronauts be worried about fungi on space stations?

September 23, 2019 -

Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of these microorganisms. The study urged other researchers to investigate the possibility of fungal infections in astronauts with compromised immune systems.

A team from Ghent University evaluated the existing pool of knowledge about mycotoxins, the chemical compounds produced by fungi that might make humans sick. They tried to determine if any of these applied to the species and strains that ...

Astronauts make emergency earthfall as medical mystery cuts historic ISS mission short

January 15, 2026 - astronauts of SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission—NASA’s Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov, and Japan’s Kimiya Yui—splashed down safely off the coast of San Diego at 3:41 a.m. ET. Their journey from the ISS took nearly 11 hours, cutting short a planned six-and-a-half-month mission by approximately four weeks. The crew was seen smiling and waving as they exited the Crew Dragon capsule, named Endeavor, with Cardman exclaiming, "It's so good to be home!...

Toxic Martian dust poses serious health risks to future astronauts, study warns

April 01, 2025 -

Future astronauts bound for Mars may face an unexpected and deadly hazard long before they ever set foot on the Red Planet: toxic dust. A new study led by researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Southern California warns that prolonged exposure to Martian dust — laden with harmful compounds like silicates, iron oxides, and perchlorates — could trigger chronic respiratory diseases, thyroid dysfunction, and even ...

Grueling life in space makes astronauts more susceptible to antibiotic-resistant superbugs

March 21, 2019 -

Not only is there a higher risk of contracting bugs like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) out in the great unknown, but the human body also apparently has a tougher time fighting them off once they've developed, new research suggests.

Perpetual lack of sleep, combined with having to live in radiation-saturated microgravity chambers, makes astronauts far more susceptible to disease, in other words – and scientists aren't really sure what to do ...

Martian salad: Researchers conduct experiments to give astronauts access to fresh vegetables

March 09, 2019 - astronauts with a variety of fresh foods during extremely long trips.

The International Space Station (ISS) has been able to support crews for six months straight. But NASA's planned missions to Mars in 2030 will last more than twice that long. (Related: Could the new type of food for astronauts be made from zooplankton? Biologists seem to think so.)These planters can one day serve as a greenhouse for hungry astronauts
