NASA to Host Live Update on International Space Station Thursday at 5 p.m. EST
The US space agency, NASA, is set to host a live news conference at its headquarters in Washington today at 5 p.m. EST to discuss the ongoing situation with the International Space Station (ISS). The conference will provide an update on the current status of the orbital laboratory and its crew.
Following an emergency postponement of a scheduled spacewalk due to a medical concern, NASA announced that it would be monitoring the condition of one crew member who is currently living and working aboard the ISS. The agency has chosen not to disclose further details about the individual due to medical privacy concerns.
During Thursday's live news conference, three key officials from NASA will be participating: Jared Isaacman, Administrator; Amit Kshatriya, Associate Administrator; and Dr. James Polk, Chief Health and Medical Officer at NASA Headquarters.
The public will have the opportunity to watch the conference online through various platforms, including NASA+, Amazon Prime, and the agency's YouTube channel. Additionally, media personnel can RSVP for a virtual or in-person spot by contacting the NASA Newsroom with details sent one hour prior to the event.

so what's going on at the ISS? is it like, totally safe up there now? 
why did they have to postpone that spacewalk? was it something weird with their suit or the actual spacewalk itself? 
also why can't we know more about who got sick? isn't that kinda important info? 
and how's life on the ISS anyway? is it all fun and games being an astronaut? 
. Seriously though, hope that crew member is okay! Can't have anyone floating around up there with a medical concern, that'd be a real 'space-astrophe' 
. On a more serious note, I'm kinda stoked we can watch the live thing online. No need to physically travel to NASA HQ unless you wanna bring some space-themed snacks 
. And who knows, maybe they'll even give us some 'out of this world' info 
!
The fact that they're keeping one crew member's medical condition under wraps is, like, super respectful 
, but also kinda intriguing... are we gonna find out what happened during that postponed spacewalk? 
. NASA+, Amazon Prime, and YouTube - gotta have all the platforms! 
Can't wait for Thursday at 5 p.m. EST... it's gonna be a wild ride! 
. Like, is it really that important to watch a bunch of suits talk about some guy who's feeling unwell up there? I mean, what if the cameras aren't even the best quality? Is that really going to make a difference in how much info we get? And why do we need to pay for it too? Can't we just stick to our regular news channels? 
This whole online thing is already making everything feel so... artificial. Just give me some good old-fashioned radio or print any day! 
. Hope everything gets sorted out soon tho, 'cause who knows how long this spacewalk postponement is gonna take? 
Also, live stream on NASA+? Not sure if I can afford that subscription lol, but gotta stay updated on the ISS situation!
