Any word on what this may be about?

You appear to be the only one with a clue on this. So, what is going on? The Shuttle just docked and it looks good.

There is a 24 hour delay on the first spacewalk due to crew health concerns, but they refused any additional details. Reporters pressed the questions, and the “talking heads” of NASA didn’t bite. NASA-TV PAO still referring to the delays and health concerns during lulls in other comms.
