      Sergei Konstantinovich Krikalev knows what it’s like to be stranded in space.

      Time in space: 803 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes

      > Krikalev was stranded on board the Mir during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. As the country that had sent him into space no longer existed, his return was delayed and he stayed in space for 311 consecutive days, twice as long as the mission had originally called for.

      They’ve been stranded for months. Let’s not suddenly pretend that NASA has this situation under control, when it’s clear they don’t.

      Aren’t space suits and capsule chairs specially fitted for each astronaut? Also suits have to be connected to the life support in the capsule.

      Anyway, the ISS always has a capsule or two docked for emergencies.

      There’s also Soyuz capsules, not just Boeing or SpaceX.

      “NASA officials look like clowns trying to pretend they fucked up on purpose and have everything under control.”
