Unfortunately they’ve been moving backwards across the time zones, resulting in them owing NASA money

Ok Huston, we’re listening!

Huston: okay you two probably gonna die. But we got two options for you. You wanna boing boing boing your way down here? Or do you wanna have space sex bring, I mean make you come? Everyone dies, we just don’t know when or where. Ok most hospice palliative care old people know where, but not when.

Shitty Boeing aside, how are they eating up there? I don’t know anything about space station food logistics, but if a planned week has turned into ten weeks, surely there must be a resource strain.

Edit: Google search says they can regularly send up unmanned supply ships.

I though I read they’re currently housed in the ISS so they should have reserves. I initially thought they were stuck in their launch vehicle.

they must have a significant food bank supply, including some kind of reserve replacement nutrients in the event shit goes wrong. That or an incredibly redundant delivery network.

They eat whichever astronaut dies first.

Just don’t question the cause of death, because it will be blunt force trauma

Don’t they have their own version of MREs they use for situations like this?

Three Starliner mission managers had key roles on Columbia’s ill-fated final flight.

I was gonna take issue with that statement until i read this. Causality does seem more probable.

This is an excellent article. I’m glad they took time to go into the history of these folks.
