Four astronauts were sent to a hospital after splashing down on Earth on October 25 .

The crew splashed down off the coast of Florida , riding on board a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

All four astronauts were hospitalized and one was forced to spend an overnight stay due to an unidentified medical issue.

The unidentified astronaut was released the next day .

Crew-8 astronaut Dominick ’s first time on board the ISS demonstrated that humans experience space differently.

“The big things you expect, right? Being disoriented, dizzy. But the little things, like just sitting in a hard chairit's rather uncomfortable and I did not expect that,” Dominick said.
