I donโ€™t know anything about space! Where is the international space station? Is it floating around? Do the 2 stranded astronauts have enough food with them? Can they communicate with people on earth?

I'm also curious what the end game is here.

The ISS is in orbit. Yes, there is communication and there are food shipments.

Other astronauts have ended up far longer at the ISS.

It's not ideal, but doesn't seem dangerous. In an emergency, there would be things they could try, but the more comfortable options would take longer.

Thanks! Wondering where I can read more about this. Any good memoirs by astronauts? Smile

Even more important than food, they have sufficient oxygen to accommodate two extra crew members.

If you know where to look and what you're looking for, you can sometimes see it pass overhead. Use this site to track it.

You could not pay me enough to go out there, even with enough food and oxygen for four extra people.
Any adventurous imas wish they could be astronauts?
