I dunno. I heard they only brought one set of clothes, and they have to wear those clothes until February without being able to wash them.

Doesn't sound pleasant.

Spaceships stink. Common trope in sci-fi.

The fact that the initial mission duration was 8 days makes it unlikely this is true, and with multiple cargo missions since then (for example two already this August), it is even more unlikely they wouldn't have received a new set of clothes by now.
