NASA Astronauts Stuck in Space: The Ultimate Escape from Earthly Chores

It looks like NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita Williams have stumbled upon the ultimate escape plan—by accident! After a series of technical glitches with Boeing’s Starliner, these two space-faring pioneers find themselves unexpectedly stuck aboard the International Space Station (ISS), and it seems they’re embracing their interstellar predicament with a surprising amount of…

unhinged observation - we all know their colours don't match the traditional ones, but I've never noticed before that on the portraits they put Jeff in red and Virgil in green, but then they swap them over when we actually see them. In fact, //pause while Len goes to look// when they're in TB3, they're all wearing red - like all the space-rated suits, specifically are red. //Goes to check again// and Gordon and Virg are in green with TB2 in the opening rescue to match Jeff as well.

Does that mean, in 2004 verse, they wear whichever colour matches the 'bird they're currently flying because other than them needing 5 suits each... that's pretty cool can't lie good for them

ignoring the fact they look the same, I can be like ??? well yellow must be wetsuits, red is space rated?? Green is ?? tougher maybe, blue is for however many G's TB1 hits a body with when they're going crazy speeds, orange is a spacesuit for living in space etc etc

"Life is made up of a collection of moments that are not ours to keep. The pain we encounter throughout our days spent on this earth comes from the illusion that some moments can be held onto.

Clinging to people and experiences that were never ours in the first place is what causes us to miss out on the beauty of the miracle that is the now. All of this is yours, yet none of it is. How could it be? Look around you. Everything is fleeting.

"To love and let go, love and let go, love and let go...it's the single most important thing we can learn in this lifetime."
