    I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.

    Still a pretty dumb approach by the NASA guys. Didn't it occur to them to ask a woman - any woman - before coming up with the initial estimate? Like "hey Sally, how many tampons do you normally need during your period? OK we'll triple that for a safety margin." There. Done.

    They did ask her. Sure, they could have asked how many instead, but it probably came in a 100 count well within any significant mass margins, so they just asked if 100 would be enough.

    Does NASA account for unexpected alien visitation? Always buy extra for the surprise visitor.

    As your comment when on, it slowly shifted in accent in my mind until you were full-blown Scottish at the end. Really a delight.

    I get the impression they were also preparing for a potential freak discovery where it turns out zero G has an extreme effect on the menstrual cycle, and they suddenly need a lot of them.

    Reagan probably got Nancy to shove them up his ass while performing her famous BJs.

    I mean, if you’re doing a full weekend of activities with friends those beers could be spaced out far enough that you’re never more than slightly buzzed (small cans, <5%ABV). But yeah, if it’s a regular thing, it’s not a great look.

    It's almost as if we're weaving a whole narrative from a meme post.

    Either way, I hope they had a lovely time.

    How long could the shuttle stay up there if it was deemed unsafe to return?

    They might have been preparing to orbit for long enough to launch a rescue mission.

    100 is probably still to many. I’m suprized they didn’t just buy a box of them, or ask the manufacturers, who surely have the most data on average tampon consumption.

    Why ask the manufacturer about the average consumption when you can ask the person in question about the real consumption?

    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.

    this kind of negativity doesn't help Star Wars, or any fandom.

    If you have a sample size of 0 and a backup plan of "crash and burn", it does make sense to be extra careful with the preparation.

    it probably came in a 100 count

    A 100-count box seems like an absurdly large unit size. Are you doing the very thing that the anecdote is intended to highlight?

    They definitely come in 100 counts. This part isn't speculation. I have no Idea what NASA procurement looks like though, and I don't have anyone to ask.
