The two astronauts will remain on the ISS until February 2025, when they'll return with two astronauts on the SpaceX Crew-9 mission that's arriving at the ISS next month.

There's a Lloyd Bridges movie from the 60s where a rocket mission to the moon accidentally lands on Mars instead, so surprisingly that it bewilders the astronauts as it happens and it looks like Mars is, like, just a little past the moon. It's pretty awful, and has roughly the same "le feeemale go back to the kitchen" preaching that a modern Chris Pratt Jurassic movie has, but I couldn't help thinking of it now.
All SF writers should be forced to play at least 1000 hours of KSP
Naw, it's a shot in the arm when 2009Trek is so powered by the navigational force known as Destiny(tm) that a supernova threatens to blow up the entire galaxy/universe at a speed many times the speed of light (also known as speed of plot) unless Red Matter(tm)(r) can make a black hole to sort of kind of stop it. Also, moons with enough gravity to walk on and atmosphere to breathe are so tiny that it's super easy, barely an inconvenience, to get banished to one after a slapfight and, wherever you land, still be within sprinting distance of Leonard Nimoy's shelter.
No joke! I was a lifelong classic sci-fi literature fan, the stuff that Clarke and his contemporaries were writing. But it wasn't until I played KSP that I really understood the basics of spaceflight.
