    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.

    I get the impression they were also preparing for a potential freak discovery where it turns out zero G has an extreme effect on the menstrual cycle, and they suddenly need a lot of them.

        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 😄

        I mean, if you’re doing a full weekend of activities with friends those beers could be spaced out far enough that you’re never more than slightly buzzed (small cans, <5%ABV). But yeah, if it’s a regular thing, it’s not a great look.

          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?

          It's almost as if we're weaving a whole narrative from a meme post.

          Either way, I hope they had a lovely time.

            How long could the shuttle stay up there if it was deemed unsafe to return?

            They might have been preparing to orbit for long enough to launch a rescue mission.

            100 is probably still to many. I’m suprized they didn’t just buy a box of them, or ask the manufacturers, who surely have the most data on average tampon consumption.

              Why ask the manufacturer about the average consumption when you can ask the person in question about the real consumption?

                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.

                Adding to that: Worn clothes are “thrown out the window” and burn up in the atmosphere.

                    If you have a sample size of 0 and a backup plan of "crash and burn", it does make sense to be extra careful with the preparation.

                        They did ask her. Sure, they could have asked how many instead, but it probably came in a 100 count well within any significant mass margins, so they just asked if 100 would be enough.

                        A 100-count box seems like an absurdly large unit size. Are you doing the very thing that the anecdote is intended to highlight?

                          They definitely come in 100 counts. This part isn't speculation. I have no Idea what NASA procurement looks like though, and I don't have anyone to ask.

                            As a purist, we can agree that the only real series was TNG, this was the cornerstone, built on the hallowed but kind of silly ground made by the original series, but followed by DS9 when we grew up a little, and we can kinda accept Voyager was a thing that happened somewhere in the distance but we don't get too close.

                            There was nothing else. The franchise ended and we all moved on, happy for the good run. "ALL GOOD THINGS..."

                                        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.
