Space is dangerous. But not always in the ways you expect. A veteran astronaut sits down for a routine meal. Then suddenly - silence. His brain stops working the way it should. For 20 minutes, he loses the ability to speak. What follows is unprecedented: the first emergency medical evacuation from the ISS. But that's just the beginning.
