Shaka, when the walls fell.

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.
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.

I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.
this kind of negativity doesn't help Star Wars, or any fandom.

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.
it probably came in a 100 count
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..."

NASA, with the tampons.

It's either super complicated and expensive tampons with certification or some employee being send to the nearest supermarket

Just grab a six-pack

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.
Depends on the ABV bigtime...

Focus that energy on areas that are making people actually contentious and hateful towards each other like rampant capitalistic greed, subversion of democracy and internet grifters who manufacture hate for engagement. Talking shit about the shows we like and don't like is fun.
People have been debating their standards for media, entertainment and franchises for longer than we have written history. Literally, look up Roman graffiti. It's fine, it's fun even. If you're seeing malice and stress in these kinds of debates, you need to back away from it entirely for a bit. Just don't get involved, stay healthy.

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
There is a big difference if it's a periodic activity or a one time party thing. If it's a one time one, it's not a big deal, apart from heavy hangover afterwards.

Didnt the Soviets supply their guys with vodka?
The Soviets did all sorts of inadvisable things with their space program

part of that is calling out negative behaviours. critique is one thing. but there are too many shitbirds today who think it's somehow cool and erudite to yuck other people's yums.
as you said, a lot of the blame for encouraging and normalizing that behaviour goes to grifters, social media, capitalism. but every person gets to make a choice on what kind of person they want to be today and what energy they want to put out.
more ppl need to start choosing the good.
