Anyone remember the movie Apollo 13 when Fred Haise, after Commander James Lovell asked how he was feeling, said "I think (Jim) Swaggert gave me the clap".

The astronaut on the ISS (Once to be called Freedom when it was solely an American project) called Mission Control and asked to speak to a flight surgeon on a private line. Now apparently the mandarins at NASA are thinking about scrubbing the whole mission.

Very curious.

One wonders just what it could be; obvious they fear something contagious, or deadly, or both.
