Hiring a dogsitter, making sure the house is maintained and tidy, everything. Think about the difference between going on a 1 week vacation and taking an entire year to go hike a triple crown trail.
I'm certain NASA helped them with a contingency plan in this case. Pretty sure they also planned out if their craft crashed.
Like for sure. An astronaut has more assistance with this from the ground crew than any of the rest of us. But that's all shit these astronauts are going to be thinking about and stressed about that needs to be discussed on calls to update them on the situation that wouldn't have been if things were going according to plan
For sure it would've been better if things went according to plan. They'll miss their families too. But I'm just saying, if I were in their place, I'd have the utmost confidence that NASA is going to bat for them and doing anything physically possible to make the best of everything.
Well, they have the free time to discuss it…
