I’ve played dead space and I don’t like where this is going!
Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp
How else you gonna open boxes?
Could it be related to 3I Atlas?
Yeah. That’s it.
No this is great, any space organisms are illegals and ICE should deal with them. Get to it.
This is how every zombie movie starts.
🤣🤣🤣
Shaun of the Dead started differently.
Does Chris Frost play the President this time?
Every one?
What ever happened to the astronauts stuck up there for months on end? They should have faked a sickness.
Elon showed up in a Tesla and brought them back to his Texas compound.
If they did that they would have come down strapped to the floor with cargo netting. There were options but they were real bad.
Eh, it certainly wouldn’t be as comfortable as the seats, but I wouldn’t say it was “real bad”.
I think the bigger problem was that they didn’t have enough suits for everyone, so if there was a depressurization event, that would be real bad.
They had the option to return at any moment in case of emergency. They were never “stuck”, that’s just something the media made up. Emergency evacuation of the ISS is possible at all times, that’s a pretty strict rule. They just chose not to, since there wasn’t any real reason to. Sure it was unplanned they would stay that long, but those are still two very valuable crew members that can do a lot of work. So they just did their job. And as both of them worked very hard to get there, staying wasn’t really a punishment or anything.
In the end they went home on a different vehicle, as the one they arrived on had too many issues to risk it (even though it worked fine in the end, but they didn’t want to take unnecessary chances)
isn’t this standard procedure to get them to a hospital asap? my bet is on the cosmonaut, he was the least enthusiastic in the photos before descent. alas this just might be cultural
Yes, also because they want to keep them isolated. Usually there’s a recovery period after returning from space.
And they left three skeletons IN SPACE!! Skeletons in space! It’s horrible. We’re all going to die.
First Trump, and now Protomolecule. What’s next?
Oh god, if Trump took Miller’s place Holden would have just offed himself
Venom…
and Fantastic 4, and The Thing (not from Fantastic 4)…
And that movie with Gyllenhaal, Ferguson and Reynolds.
When you gotta go you gotta go man, and there is nowhere to go to up there.
In space, no one lets you pee?
It’s space, there’s tons of space to go. Who knows maybe a billion years from now the turd you release becomes a planet killing asteroid but brings new life to it.
Please god
Affecting “a single crew member who is stable”, first baby conceived in space
Oooh, now that’s a good theory.

A zero g fetus? That’s how you end up with Gyoro Gyoro, people! The limbs don’t know where to emerge from!!
Typically female astronauts can’t get pregnant.

Interesting, makes sense. I’m downgrading my guess to a sex injury

SPACE…………MADNESS!
It is not I who are crazy, it is I who are MAD!
Bullshit, no way a helicopter can reach the space station.
It’s like next door the moon landing studio.
/s
(bcs for some reason in this day and age a comment like that could be serious)
It’s only a few hundred miles. Many helicopters can fly way farther.
And you only need fuel for one direction.
Just autorotate down. I’ve seen it in the telly.
While I understand the desire for medical confidentiality, I think when it comes to space travel, the public, or at very least the scientific community, deserves to know some details. It’s not like we’re swimming in data about medical emergencies in zero-G, every little bit is important.
