What difference would this make to you? It would unnecessarily violate someone’s medical privacy for no actual benefit to the public other than satisfying someone’s curiosity.

> You don't get to go to space on other people's money and expect privacy.

Yes, everyone gets privacy. You don’t get to see their private communications back home. You don’t get their medical records.

They aren’t receiving money from taxpayers like a gift. They’re doing a job. It’s ridiculous to demand that they forfeit their privacy because tax money was involved.

> We might want to learn from what went wrong here.

NASA will learn what went wrong here because they’re in a position to act on

You are not in a position to do anything about it. Violating their privacy would make no difference.
