One of them is now invisible and one is super stretchy, the third one is on fire all the time.
Well, he’s not technically on fire all the time, but he is a flaming asshole, if that’s what you meant.
Xenomorph. Definitely a Xenomorph.
As long as it's not Xenumorph, I think we're good
~~Boeing's incompetence may have hurt our astronauts, we are not good~~
e; Bad assumption, turns out the Starliner crew is still up
Bad idea bringing a xenomorph host planetside
Checking for Body Snatchers.
Realistically: They spent more than 180 days, after that milestone shit gets weird. Men start to go blind, muscle mass stops being able to be maintained, spinal disks goes weird, fertility is permanently negatively effected, etc. It's invaluable data to study then even if they aren't reporting symptoms.
Conspiracy: they're space zombies now.
Who had the Andromeda strain on their 2024 bingo card?
We’ve had one pandemic, but what about second pandemic?
Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a flu
One of the crew, who has not been identified, was “briefly detained” at the hospital but was released “in good health” to continue what it called post-flight reconditioning, the US space agency said at the time.
This is not news. It was probably not even space-related.
It's absolutely space related, there are serious health problems associated with even a couple months in zero-g.
Are they reporting strange things like ‘my car was red and now it’s blue’ ?
That's just because the car used to be driving away, and now it's driving towards them.
Roses are red Roses are blue depending on their velocity relative to you
Goo bones? I bet it’s goo bones.
Smh :(
Nah we've had astronauts in space much longer than they were. This is something different.
The only thing I can think of is some issue with differences or incompatibilities between the Starliner suits and the Dragon capsule that either weren't accounted for or more likely had no alternative given the situation.
Astronaut suits are custom made for each individual, and each manufacturer has their own system. They accomplish the same task, but in slightly different ways.
The Starliner crew is still on the ISS. They return with crew-9 in February.
Huh, wonder why I thought they came back already on a Dragon.
Because it's ridiculous that they've been stranded for so long!
I was just kidding, of course :P
Uh-oh, somebody's chest asploded again.
