NASA investigates weightlessness, organ chip studies
NASA is still figuring out what caused the incident, with possible factors like weightlessness under review.
The event is a reminder of how important good health care is for astronauts, especially as missions get longer.
Researchers are now using "organ chips" to study how space affects our bodies and help keep future crews safe.
