Looks like this group hasn't bought into the latest media hype on ISS's low food supplies. Good for us. |

There's nothing to worry about because there's a contingency plan for killing and eating the Commander in such a situation. I have one page of that plan (FLOWN!) from Exp. 4. I can't explain the stains, however. [This message has been edited by Rodina (edited December 10, 2004).] |

So, are they just EATING too much....cutbacks in science experiments or whatever, due to funding cutbacks cause them to have time to kill so they eat extra or what ?
Or is this another "ploy" for those anti-manned spaceflight people to say "Na, na, na, na, na, na" ?

Once they get through their planned meals they will be forced to eat the less desirable items left over from previous crews. (What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.) Also, they have to keep eating at a certain level to compensate for their mandatory daily exercise.  |

Well, I'm sure that Nigerian that is stuck in space can share some food.... either that, or if I send them my bank account number plus a down payment of $30,000, I'm sure they can take my share of the thirty million and use it to send some food up that way. |
