Rare but possible, astronauts do get sick too, and they fall ill in space, as well. Indeed, as they float off-earth, these spacemen have suffered from upper respiratory infections or URI, or colds, skin infections and urinary tract infections or UTI

When the Astronauts Get Sick in Space, What Does NASA Do?

ICESat-2 and Its Contribution in Understanding Climate Change

ICESat-2 has harvested more data than its predecessor and it helps scientists, big time. Satellite launching -- especially those that are observing Earth -- is not exactly news unless of course, the satellites are from private companies like SpaceX or Boeing so when NASA's observation satellite ICESat-2 was launched last September 2018, it was regarded as just another day at work.

6 Mishaps in Space Missions That Are Not Complete Failures

They may crash hard but these space agencies are not giving up on space missions. Spaceflight is not always about success. Sometimes, a slight change in calculations can send spacecraft crashing but if there is a silver lining in these failed missions, it's that astronomers and engineers have improved their theories in creating spacecraft that will eventually complete their mission.
