"Paralympian Astronaut's Prosthetic Leg Raises Poison Concerns for Space Station"

Former Paralympian and current astronaut trainee, John McFall, is having his prosthetic leg tested by the European Space Agency (ESA) to ensure it does not emit toxic gases that could be harmful in the confined environment of the International Space Station (ISS). The feasibility study aims to assess the impact of being an amputee and wearing a prosthesis in space, and potential solutions to any issues. A decision on whether McFall will fly on a space mission will be made after the study concludes in 2025.
