I've played dead space and I don't like where this is going!
Stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp
How else you gonna open boxes?
No this is great, any space organisms are illegals and ICE should deal with them. Get to it.
Could it be related to 3I Atlas?
Yeah. That's it.
Bullshit, no way a helicopter can reach the space station.
It's only a few hundred miles. Many helicopters can fly way farther.
And you only need fuel for one direction.
Just autorotate down. I've seen it in the telly.
Why not? It's like next door the moon landing studio.

(bcs for some reason in this day and age a comment like that could be serious)
First Trump, and now Protomolecule. What's next?
Oh god, if Trump took Miller’s place Holden would have just offed himself
isn’t this standard procedure to get them to a hospital asap?
my bet is on the cosmonaut, he was the least enthusiastic in the photos before descent. alas this just might be cultural
Yes, also because they want to keep them isolated. Usually there's a recovery period after returning from space.
Affecting "a single crew member who is stable", first baby conceived in space
A zero g fetus? That's how you end up with Gyoro Gyoro, people! The limbs don't know where to emerge from!!
Oooh, now that's a good theory.
With an alien baby
Typically female astronauts can't get pregnant.
Interesting, makes sense. I'm downgrading my guess to a sex injury
This is how every zombie movie starts.
Shaun of the Dead started differently.
Does Chris Frost play the President this time?
Every one?
🤣🤣🤣
SPACE…………MADNESS!
It is not I who are crazy, it is I who are MAD!
What ever happened to the astronauts stuck up there for months on end? They should have faked a sickness.
They had the option to return at any moment in case of emergency. They were never "stuck", that's just something the media made up. Emergency evacuation of the ISS is possible at all times, that's a pretty strict rule. They just chose not to, since there wasn't any real reason to. Sure it was unplanned they would stay that long, but those are still two very valuable crew members that can do a lot of work. So they just did their job. And as both of them worked very hard to get there, staying wasn't really a punishment or anything.
In the end they went home on a different vehicle, as the one they arrived on had too many issues to risk it (even though it worked fine in the end, but they didn't want to take unnecessary chances)
If they did that they would have come down strapped to the floor with cargo netting. There were options but they were real bad.
Eh, it certainly wouldn't be as comfortable as the seats, but I wouldn't say it was "real bad".
I think the bigger problem was that they didn't have enough suits for everyone, so if there was a depressurization event, that would be real bad.
Elon showed up in a Tesla and brought them back to his Texas compound.
When you gotta go you gotta go man, and there is nowhere to go to up there.
It's space, there's tons of space to go. Who knows maybe a billion years from now the turd you release becomes a planet killing asteroid but brings new life to it.
Please god
In space, no one lets you pee?
Venom...
and Fantastic 4, and The Thing (not from Fantastic 4)...
And that movie with Gyllenhaal, Ferguson and Reynolds.
While I understand the desire for medical confidentiality, I think when it comes to space travel, the public, or at very least the scientific community, deserves to know some details. It's not like we're swimming in data about medical emergencies in zero-G, every little bit is important.
And they left three skeletons IN SPACE!! Skeletons in space! It's horrible. We're all going to die.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
