If we're using NASA as a reference Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were in space for 286 days instead of a planned week long mission.
They did get resupplied with additional clothing and personal effects after a few weeks.
Coincidentally, there is no laundry or shower on the international space station.
True, but just in case, would still rather have the 100 beers. Plus if I know more beers are coming I can worry less about rationing the beers
-
Plus like what if the mission lasts for a long time. If I plan on spending a week at a friend's house but end up being there for much longer it won't hurt to have more beers.

I feel like informing women astronauts the current stock level of tampons on the ISS will come across as misogynistic, regardless of how factual and procedural the conveyance of information would be.

And here I thought I had a problem. Thanks guys. Feeling better now.

I feel like the women of the iss team should be the ones deciding on the policies regarding this.

It's quite simple really.
Are you planning on a sensible night with a few tinnies? 4.
Are you wanting to get wankered but still make sense by lunchtime tomorrow? 14.
Are you wanting to get utterly trashed and wake up the morning after the morning after? 24.
Are you part of a suicide cult? Yeah go with 104, sure whatever.
She didn't say night, she said weekend. There's so many more variables. Maybe they're going to stay in and watch movies until 3AM, maybe they're going around town and not drinking a lot at home, maybe they get really drunk early on, found love, and stayed in for the rest of the weekend?

Nah. Heat is a real issue on the space station. Maybe a 6 pack for the three Xonauts that were up there, but excess sweating and excess heat production is a real concern for the ISS, or really any spacecraft, they have heatsinks that stick into a vacuum, and that is the problem. The vacuum is only ≈3K, or -270.15° C, but a vacuum is not particularly receptive to heat dispersal. Up on the ISS or any other spacecraft, you really wouldn't want alcohol at all. It would absolutely cause you to burn too hot, causing excess heat to be introduced into the system.
Weed edibles should be a better option. Specifically NOT flower or concentrates since even a vape is going to be introducing, potentially, too much heat into the craft.
Actually, I wanna see some Xonauts do some Shrooms.

please fill out the menstrual product request form prior to your launch cargo inventory confirmation
Yes you are right.

One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.
I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.

I'm not sure whether that's a hot take, and I know there are different levels of tolerance, but I think you might have a problem if you drink 20 beers in 2-3 days (assuming 4-6% alcohol). Or at least you will probably have, starting day 2

NASA once asked astronaut Sally Ride if 100 tampons would be enough for her week-long mission in space, but she later clarified that this number was excessive. While the engineers were concerned about potential needs, Ride humorously noted that a much smaller amount would suffice.
100/hour? That might be enough, but we really want wider safety margins, don't you think?

Didnt the Soviets supply their guys with vodka?

Tbh, this is not quite as dumb as it sounds. Tampons weigh nothing and if there's no way to resupply, it's not quite as dumb to take more than you need. What if, for example, there's a series defect on these things and a large portion of them are defective?
In fact, when they asked her said it's excessive, to which they told her they wanted to be on the safe side, so she said to cut it in half and bring 50pcs (which is still excessive for most periods, but on the safe side).
In fact, in the same mission they also brought jelly beans, which were entirely irrelevant to the mission, because Reagan insisted on his favourite snack to go to orbit. They were likely heavier than 100 tampons and also much less necessary up there.

Really depends on whether we're talking 0.33l oder 0.5l.

NASA standard is 2.5x what you expect. So we're talking 30 beers for the weekend, just to be safe.
-
But I would also like to wake up in the morning.
In that case just drink light beer, it typically has the alcohol content of seawater.

I just don't feel like a real man if I don't have my 125 daily lagers. I would surmise astronauts are the same. Maybe that's why nothing gets done up there,... they're being rationed !
-
we have found the qa tester.
I'll have -1 beers.
I'll have <r-*0> beers.
I'll have all beers.
