In the weightlessness of orbit, four first-time astronauts accomplished something medicine had never attempted beyond Earth: they imaged one another with a portable X-ray machine, and the pictures were good enough to matter. The Fram2 mission, launched in March 2025, carried not only its crew but a quiet revolution in space medicine — the proof that diagnostic imaging, long tethered to hospitals and specialists, might follow humanity wherever it chooses to go. With only four hours of preflight training between them and the void, these rookies demonstrated that the tools of diagnosis need not r
