yes, and thankfully their modest payment was enough for them to be able to afford to go out the spaceship, round the corner to the oxygen store and pick up just what they needed to breathe that week.
The US astronaut begging the communist countries “help we’re not unionized. We have to drink our pee and our air is reaching unsafe levels of co2. Please can you wire us funds?”
… What was money going to do for them while they were still in space, though?
Also astronauts are salary. They were getting paid while stuck in space, they also get hazard pay. I would imagine being stuck in space counts as a hazard. Most of them are making 6 figures.
Weren’t there astronauts trapped in space a little while back. I get it. They weren’t being paid much either, so it’s believable on some levels.

Technically true. In fact, if you feel like it, you can track the current level of unrecycled piss on the ISS live on https://bsky.app/profile/iss-piss-tracker.bsky.social
Technically we all drink our own pee and the pee of our ancestors since water goes through a “lifecycle.”
