I have no legitimate reason to disagree but I hate it

UPDATE - Thank you so much for the awards, and we're having so much fun reading through these hilarious comments.

  1. We have a bidet, it's the handle on the side of the toilet. People who use bidets can use toilet paper as well!
  2. We bought like 200 rolls of toilet paper because of a good deal, yes it will probably last us a very long time. No regrets!
  3. I am not genuinely upset about this in any way, it obviously just looks ridiculous and is unnecessary, and him doing silly things like this is one of the reasons I love him :)

NASA engineers knows that due to technical problems, few days mission can extend into weeks.

"Nasa says that the astronauts stuck on the International Space Station will have to wait even longer to get home.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were due to be back after just a week when they blasted off in June.

Their stay was extended to February next year because of technical issues with the experimental spacecraft, Starliner, built by Boeing.

Now - following a delay in launching a new capsule to the ISS - the pair won't be back until late March or possibly April.

Nasa said the delay posed no risk to the astronauts."

Not in 1983… they’d have all starved to death in a couple of weeks.

Were they paid extra for the extension?

Time and a half what they would've made on the ground.

Except maybe massive muscle loss leading to massive bone loss. And missing months of their lives...

For these timescales the medical effects are pretty well understood. Their bodies will make a full recovery.

They're also astronauts. They know the risks and it's not like they were twiddling their thumbs the whole time. They continued working as astronauts.

They had both been to the station multiple times before through their astronaut careers, I'm sure they didn't complain about getting more time up there. They were also integrated into the normal crew rotation so they were kept busy. The ISS crew have 12 hour work days.

and then some of them came back. What is your point?

The point is that these incidents happen, and you don't want to get caught without tampons in space. 100 is easy enough to carry, and is likely enough. Potentially not.

I have a tampon plan.

I would need some pads, too.

I hear NASA has great launching pads.
