Well, here’s terrible news:
I have terrible news.@nyrath, the creator of the Atomic Rockets website, is in hospital with a life threatening condition.
His contributions to realism in science fiction over the decades have inspired thousands of people and led to so many of the best works you enjoy today. pic.twitter.com/GNs9B7OZXi

I have no further info.
In case this is mystifying, Winchell Chung is the creator of the Atomic Rockets website that anyone even vaguely interested in hard sci-fi should be fully familiar with.
UPDATE: Bad news continues:
I am overwhelmed by all the well wishes from everyone. Thank you all.
But prostate cancer that has metastasized has a very poor prognosis
