” What is it now...290ish days? In a weightless can with no way out. I would have no joke probably had a psychotic meltdown. How does anyone cope with that kind of confinement and remain in a mental state that would be considered functional?”

The worst part of it for most of the time was - there was no future date they could pin their hopes on. It was always some fuzzy time in the future. Not having that date to focus on as when you’re getting out of there would be the one thing that would drive me bananas. No light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

Does that woman not have an elastic to tie her hair back with? Does she not know how to braid it? She looks like Medusa. You know, I bought my condo from two Indian sisters, both with long, thick black hair. I was pulling their hair out of drains for months and it would also clog up the vacuum cleaner. Can you imagine how loose strands of her hair is probably floating around in that capsule, draping across someone's eyes or caught in their mouth? Ick.

I know they're both probably ready to kill each other at this point, although I read that they weren't the astronauts left longest in space... some guy went 340 days. But they're getting close.
