The astronaut who prompted NASA’s first medical evacuation earlier this year said Friday that doctors still don’t know why he suddenly fell sick at the International Space Station.

Anxiety? I have “shutdowns” when over stressed where I can’t speak no matter how much I want to consciously. But that never happens out of the blue. It might happen if I was about to go on a spacewalk… For the first time. Not the 10th, tho.
Could also be a rogue aura from migraine or - worst case, I guess - it could be Transient Cerebral Ischaemia. Makes sense to evacuate him for evaluation father than risking a full blown stroke in space.
I feel that if I were an astronaut I’d be extremely subject to the yips.
That is what it sounds like to me. Stress and just sensory overload and anxiety could cause my brain to just lock up some functions. Speech is pretty complex.
