Now I'll be up all night thinking about viruses mutating in space and coming back to Earth.

 

Yeah!
Those coming from the earth are already bad enough.

Doctors have ruled out a heart attack four-time space flier Mike Fincke said he wasn’t choking, but everything else is still on the table and could be related to his 549 days of weightlessness.

Sounds like a TIA (transient ischemic attack, or mini-stroke) to me. I had one almost two decades ago and it was similar. Speech impairment and weakness in my right hand. Other than that, no pain or disorientation and recovered in ten to fifteen minutes. Had multiple tests run and it was finally determined that the most likely cause, though not definitive, was a congenital atrial septal defect in my heart.

Possibly I could send my Ex into space and hope for the same. I was working on a matter transfer device to beam her into a brick wall but sending her to space seems simpler and more affordable. Thanks for the idea.
