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
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 informing women astronauts the current stock level of tampons on the ISS will come across as misogynistic, regardless of how factual and procedural the conveyance of information would be.
I don’t need 100 beers but I would like 100 beers

NASA standard is 2.5x what you expect. So we’re talking 30 beers for the weekend, just to be safe.
Does NASA account for unexpected alien visitation? Always buy extra for the surprise visitor.
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.
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

Didnt the Soviets supply their guys with vodka?

I feel like the women of the iss team should be the ones deciding on the policies regarding this.
Yes you are right.
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.
