    1. She should be thinking about the movie rights. Hollywood will need life or death drama

    2. Those poor astronauts, stranded weightless above the Earth, seeing all the landmasses and oceans from afar with no hint as to the artificial borders between manmade territories.

      How cruel! Won’t someone please think of the astronauts! Elon, please go get them to bring them closer to your grace!

    3. The chances of those 2 getting a 9+ month mission were minimal prior to their arrival at the station – I bet they’re feeling so pleased with themselves just now.

    4. Seems like the best place to spend the Trump presidency really. As far away from Trump as possible.

    5. Oh no. A mission that takes a long time to qualify and train for and ends up being a part of their lifelong dream and of which they may never get the chance to go again has unexpectedly been prolonged. What could they ever do? Maybe another spacewalk, just for kicks. To soothe their, err, space blues.
