Christmas wishes from Sunita Williams, Barry Wilmore, Don Pettit and Nick Hague who were launched into space on 5 June on what was due to be an eight-day test flight mission - but technical issues mean they are still stranded on the International Space Station.

A three hour tour...

The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost. The Minnow would be lost.

I think the biggest plot gap of that show was if it was a three hour tour they should have been found relatively quickly.

Presumably, they were at maximum 1.5 hours out on a slow tour boat. There can only be so many islands in that area and then knowing the wind direction… 🤷
