Shitty Boeing aside, how are they eating up there? I don't know anything about space station food logistics, but if a planned week has turned into ten weeks, surely there must be a resource strain.

Edit: Google search says they can regularly send up unmanned supply ships.

Can’t wait to see this project too in Google’s graveyard.

They eat whichever astronaut dies first.

Just don't question the cause of death, because it will be blunt force trauma

Don't they have their own version of MREs they use for situations like this?

Instructions: please ring door bell

Please leave anywhere near the airlock. Pls don't ring or knock, dogs bark.

they must have a significant food bank supply, including some kind of reserve replacement nutrients in the event shit goes wrong. That or an incredibly redundant delivery network.

Cygnus, last mission launched on 4 August 2024.

I was curious about this same thing.

I though I read they're currently housed in the ISS so they should have reserves. I initially thought they were stuck in their launch vehicle.
