[EvaH (OP)]

Fady wants to know:

'Has life changed for astronauts on the ISS due to coronavirus, and are astronauts still allowed to sent to and from the ISS?'

We're looking into this question for the show, but what do you think?

In 24 hours, it is planned to launch two astronauts to the ISS onboard a SpaceX human-rated capsule.
- COVID-19 has meant a stricter quarantine requirement on astronauts, as you don't want COVID-19 spreading among the astronauts!

Many NASA programs like James Webb Space Telescope have been put on hold during the pandemic.
...while others with a tight deadline have continued, eg the Perseverence Mars Rover (if it misses its July-August 2020 launch window, it is an 18 month wait for the next planetary alignment).
