That and NASA is a very safety conscious organization. So they want to overestimate everything and include way more than they need. So when she said a couple per day you can round that to 5 for safety, then considering it's a 6 day mission they want to include triple the amount of needed supplies which means 18 days worth. 18*5=90 which is pretty close to 100 so let's round up again. Plus tampons are a useful first aid tool, especially in zero gravity. You shove some into an open wound and it'll prevent blood from spilling all over the very sensitive equipment. Does a woman need 100 tampons for 6 days? Of course not, but she wasn't going to spend a week in the mountains, she was going to space, so the safety precautions were much more stringent

NASA is obsessed with redundancy, especially when the weight allowance lets them run away with it.

Add that to the fact that most of the engineers were men, and had literally no clue about how many tampons are needed for a normal woman on earth, and you end up with 100 being sent up for a two-week mission.

Sure. In my mind, hosting is either for larger get-together that takes organizing and preparation or if someone is traveling to the area to stay with you for a few days.

Hosting generally carries the weight of planning, organization and preparation that probably doesn’t go into just having someone over to hang out.

Depends how grown-up we're trying to feel

Been using that forever, even in the internet. Ever heard of LAN hosting?

I don't hear it often, but being a host to people in your house is a normal thing.

Fuck it's actually real. Nasa engineers really suggested 100 tampons for 6 days
