NASA Astronaut Describes Mystery Illness That Forced Emergency Space Evacuation

A NASA astronaut is describing the mystery illness that struck him suddenly in space, resulting in an emergency evacuation.

Astronaut Mike Fincke, who has been to space four times, told the Associated Press that he was struck with the illness while eating dinner. He briefly lost the ability to speak. "He couldn’t talk and remembers no pain, but his anxious crewmates jumped into action after seeing him in distress and requested help from flight surgeons on the ground," the AP reported.

What it was, nobody knows.
