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.

Can’t wait to see this project too in Google’s graveyard.

Ah, the old lemmy switcharoo

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?

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They just send up more food.

Imagine that Uber Eats bill.

Fr. Imagine the expected tip.

Instructions: please ring door bell

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Please leave anywhere near the airlock. Pls don't ring or knock, dogs bark.

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.

Cygnus, last mission launched on 4 August 2024.

[–] Mythnubb@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

I was curious about this same thing.

[–] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 11 months ago

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.
