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?

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!!

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.

Still up there another aborted mission to bring them home

SpaceX delays flight to return NASA's stranded astronauts

The flight was postponed due to a launch pad issue. The two astronauts have been stuck in space for nine months.

It’s all media hype. They can return any day they like. Listened to a NASA bloke onthe radio and they are there by choice… they are choosing to not use a different craft to get back because of a number of factors (which I can’t recall) and they are living the dream as most astronauts don’t get the opportunity to spend that long in space doing all sorts of experiments. He said they are both delighted with the situation.

It's a bit of private enterprise over a national one I think, whether Boeing or Musk get them back, been a bit of a kerfuffle back and forth.

Heard this is the backup plan if Musk's lot bail out.

What amuses me is that their names are Butch and Sundance! (or something very similar?)
