- "NASA does not have authority to unilaterally release medical information of its astronauts"

Just to clarify—and I'm not denying her right to choose to do that—the person quoted in the article as citing "medical privacy" is one of the astronauts who was hospitalized.

You’re honestly telling me, an astronaut who’s been on nasa tv talking about bodily functions in space with school kids for 6 months, suddenly clams up and doesn’t want anyone to know they got hurt when the SpaceX seatbelt failed?

Yes, especially when the possible injury may mean the end of thier career as a flying astronaut, which could be an issue here.
