1. It feels like returning to Earth from outer space
Four astronauts who just returned from the International Space Station (ISS), told their experience of returning to Earth and feeling the splash of sea water after more than 160 days in space, on Thursday (6/5/2021).
The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying four astronauts back to Earth crashed off the coast of Florida on Sunday (2/5/2021) morning local time.
The four astronauts consist of 3 NASA astronauts and one Japanese astronaut. Their group was named Crew-1.
“There are times when I just say to myself, let’s breathe. Inhale. Because I feel so heavy. I feel like a cartoon with a drooping face,” said NASA astronaut Victor Glover, one of the 4 Crew-1 astronauts.
“It’s very dynamic and very challenging,” said Glover.
Reporting from the AFP on Friday (7/5/2021), Glover admitted that he had difficulty breathing when he entered the Earth’s atmosphere because the weight of the acceleration was concentrated in the chest.
“However, launching and returning to Earth is a unique experience,” he said.

2. How do cytokine storms cause death?
The husband of the actor Joanna Alexandra, Raditya Oloan, died on Thursday (6/5/2021) after being treated intensively in the ICU. It is reported that before Raditya Oloan breathed his last, the 36-year-old man had experienced a cytokine storm (cytokine storm) after being exposed to Covid-19.
This was revealed by Joanna through her personal Instagram account which stated that the main cause of Radit’s condition was one of them due to hyperinflammation caused by cytokine storms.
“His condition is post-covid with comorbid asthma, and he is going through a cytokin storm which causes hyper-inflammation in his whole body. Plus there is a fairly strong bacterial infection, “Kompas.com quoted from Joanna’s Instagram upload.
The Lung Consultant for Sub-Infection at the Friendship Hospital, dr Erlina Burhan MSc SpP (K) explained, in principle, if a virus enters the lung organs in the body, the reaction that occurs is the release of cytokines.
To note, cytokines are proteins produced by the immune system to carry out various important functions in cell signaling markers. The release or release of these cytokines can affect the behavior of surrounding cells.
The cytokines released in small amounts have no effect on the condition of the patient’s lungs, or the condition of the lungs is not problematic.
However, if the number of cytokines released in the lungs is already large, it is called a cytokine storm, then it will make this respiratory organ very dense and stiff.
