- Nasa is considering evacuating an astronaut from the International Space Station (ISS) due to an undisclosed medical issue.
- The medical concern arose on Wednesday afternoon, leading to the postponement of a planned spacewalk for Thursday.
- The US space agency is "actively evaluating all options," including the possibility of ending the Crew-11 mission early.
- Details about the affected crew member and the nature of the problem are being withheld for medical privacy, though Nasa states the situation is stable.
- Should an evacuation occur, it would mark the first medical evacuation from the ISS in its 25-year history of continuous occupation.
