On June 12, the International Space Station (ISS) experienced a medical emergency involving the commander of Expedition 71, who appeared to suffer from decompression sickness. Initial reports indicated a serious incident, with terms like 'hypobaric exposure' and 'multiple dps hits' being mentioned. However, later updates clarified that the situation was part of a simulation and did not involve the actual ISS crew. The incident initially caused significant concern but was eventually confirmed to be a drill. NASA's emergency recovery protocols were discussed in light of the news.
