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
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.

I feel like the women of the iss team should be the ones deciding on the policies regarding this.
please fill out the menstrual product request form prior to your launch cargo inventory confirmation
Yes you are right.

NASA, with the tampons.
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.

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.
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. I definitely would rather have 100 beers in that situation over 12 beers
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 !

Edit: Why would people downvote this? I actually want to know if anyone has an idea
we have found the qa tester.
I'll have -1 beers.
I'll have <r-*0> beers.
I'll have all beers.

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.

Still a pretty dumb approach by the NASA guys. Didn't it occur to them to ask a woman - any woman - before coming up with the initial estimate? Like "hey Sally, how many tampons do you normally need during your period? OK we'll triple that for a safety margin." There. Done.

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.

Does NASA account for unexpected alien visitation? Always buy extra for the surprise visitor.
