Have y'all heard about those two astronauts stranded on the space station? They were supposed to be up there for a week, but some sort of problem reared its head and they are stuck up there.
Two NASA astronauts have been stranded on the International Space Station for 56 days12345. They were originally supposed to return after a week, but their return has been delayed due to equipment problems with the Boeing spacecraft they rode to orbit.
If it was me up there, I'd be well and truly pissed. I heard someone say today that they might not get them home until February.
I'd be ecstatic to be onboard the ISS rather to trying to ride that Boeing deathtrap down (remember the old 1969 movie "Marooned"?
ReplyDeleteI read that Februaary was a possibility. Not only is their Boeing spacecraft a problem, apparently their Boeing space suits are not compatible with Musk's Dragon X ship. Why would Boeing design a proprietary suit that is useless in case of emergency?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they do for food and water?

I understand the Russians are bringing up extra groceries. Plus, this isn't the first time; if my memory serves me right, this has happened.
DeleteThink of all the overtime!
ReplyDeleteMusk can get their measurements and send them up with his rescue flight.or gin up an adapter for the umbilical.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise they will eft up there until they die. If you have any boeing stock sell it.
