Apollo 1 was well before...
Of course, wasn't there a movie celebrating the black female mathematicians that worked on the project? Hmmm.

You'd think they would have thought of this in advance.

It's probably ok having black mathematicians as long as you don't celebrate them.

Good. No damage to the ISS, I gather. Looked like a clean undocking.
Now, about those space suits...

You’d think they could send up compatible space suits when the pick them up.

Supposedly, they are on the way on the next SpaceX mission.

Stranded NASA Astronauts Will Be Stuck in Space a Little Longer
Return date pushed back again after what was supposed to be a dayslong trip stretched into months- NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore will remain in space until at least late March due to a delay in their return flight.
- The delay is to allow more time to process the SpaceX capsule that will bring them back to Earth.
- Despite the extended stay, Williams and Wilmore have continued to perform their duties on the ISS.

That would be a very uncomfortable position to be in.

I’ve heard from astronauts that every single one would love to be stuck in space longer than expected. Now, I’d imagine after a few months the physical side effects will not be comfortable or as safe.

I'm no expert but...can't they just hold their breath and jump towards earth? Again I'm no expert.

You’ll have to ask the rocket scientists at National Public Radio about that. They surely know more about being stranded than any of us do.

Let's hope Musk's rescue mission goes better than his last adventure.
I am an expert on explosions, incidentally, and that was what we call in the trade a fucking big one, if you'll forgive the techno-babble.

There are some good photos out there from it now, btw:
