Stranded Astronauts (2 Viewers)

The 2 NASA astronauts staying up on the ISS for the next 6 months. They've already been there 2 months. How will they cope, I've always loved space and Sci Fi. I find this intriguing.

Is there enough food and water up there for them?

It gets sent up by other craft apparently

Two astronauts are stuck in space - how will they pass time (and survive) until 2025?

The two astronauts were only meant to be in space for eight days, but due to technical issues they won't return until 2025. Do they have enough supplies for such a stint, how are they coping mentally and what is day-to-day life like up there?

Trained professionals but they’ll be scared to death, I’m sure.

Doesn't sound like its a massive issue, plenty of food and others already on board, I'm sure they're being put to use and not just sat up there twiddling their thumbs for 6 months, I know if it was me, I'd love being up there and would rather stay for 6 months then take a risk on a damaged aircraft.

They'll just phone uber eats won't they, and catch a Bolt back, psychological adjustment required, quite a bit if they're family men. Two months on the Paris air show could really drag tbf!! You can only read the Bible so many times!!

Wrong assumption.
One woman. One man.

Correct probably was aware but slipped my mind as it's a week old story!

Would imagine they have to do lots of exercise to keep the blood pressure flowing and need to stop the bones thinning.

8 months is a long time ... don't want to bring the tone down but I wonder what it's like having a w**k in zero G? I assume you have to take some precautions to stop bits floating around.
