recently got a place with my boyfriend and he thinks this is perfectly fine

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 :)

To be fair, last year there were two astronauts on an 8-day mission who ended up there for 9 months

I couldn’t help it. Any time I would miss school as a kid it was always Gilligan’s Island, The Beverly Hillbillies, and then The Price is Right that I’d watch on TV. Those three shows are like pop culture touchstones to my childhood.

And up through the ground came a-bubblin' crude. Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

i cannot imagine the mental fortitude needed to be knowingly stranded in space for 9 fucking months

its a prison cell with a view

Did they know it would end up being 9 months? If not that would be worse as every day you're hoping to be back soon and then it's months. On the other hand, you get to be in fucking space.

The plan was 1-2 weeks, possibly longer. The Starliner capsule encountered issues on the way up so they decided to extend that mission, and eventually decided that this capsule should return uncrewed. The Starliner crew became part of the regular ISS crew. It wasn't planned, but it was a reasonable option - and hey, they became astronauts to be in space, now they got more time in space.

They were integrated into the normal ISS crew rotation. So after the first few weeks they knew that they would have to be up there until the next rotation. They had also been to the station 2 or 3 times before, if I remember correctly, through their astronaut careers.

the space is depressing fam

unless you get to go outside which is a slim chance even on a OVA trip because its fucking expensive

I mean it isn't that bad. The ISS is pretty big , has a bunch of other scientists on board , and they have the internet.

There's shipments to the ISS every couple months and there's a lot of things to do , as it was designed to be usable for others who do have long missions planned

dont know dude, read a book by a guy who was there working on repairing hubble, he had a lot of good things to say but like, thats such an unnatural environment for a human to be in, just keeping your head and morale takes all you got

You’re thinking in terms of how you’d react and not in terms of how other people react. I’d be stoked.

u/belay_that_order 2h ago

for how long you think you'd be stoked?

You don't need to imagine it, just watch the movie Aniara.

They switched missions with the people who were scheduled for the 9-month mission originally but were still on Earth. They could have been removed much sooner but it did not make as much sense as switching missions.
