A Christmas photo shared by NASA astronauts stranded on the international space station has everyone wondering how they got their hands on Christmas treats.
The images, which show Butch Wilmore, Suni Williams and other NASA astronauts wearing Santa Claus hats, was posted earlier this week to celebrate the holidays.
The two test pilots have been stranded in space since June, when they blasted off on Boeing’s first astronaut flight to the International Space Station. But their mission grew from eight days to eight months after NASA decided to send the company’s problem-plagued Starliner capsule back empty in September.
This has led many on social media to question how the astronauts received the Christmas decorations they showed off in their holiday images.
One X user wrote: 'who delivered the Christmas hats and decorations??
'So…u thought far enough in advance to pack them when extra space in the capsule is at a very high premium?? hmmm.'
Another echoed the sentiment, adding: 'Just curious how they’re still alive with 8 days of food and Christmas decorations?'
A third questioned: 'How much did it cost to send up Christmas hats?'
The viral question prompted commander Nick Hague to reveal the crew received the goodies in a shipment from Earth six months ago.
'There's no last-minute dash to the mall to get gifts on @SpaceSation,' Hague said.
'A team of elves had to pack up these gifts 6 months ago!'
On a holiday video, Williams said: 'It’s a great time up here, we get to spend it with all of our ‘family’ on the International Space Station.
'There are seven of us up here and so we’re going to get to enjoy company together.'
Mission commander Williams and flight engineer Wilmore took off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on June 5 for a test flight of Boeing's new Starliner capsule.
The plan was to ride Starliner out of the atmosphere, perform a few test maneuvers, and dock with the ISS for an eight-day stay before returning to Earth in the same capsule.
However, things almost immediately began to go wrong for the problem-plagued capsule as the craft experienced thruster failures and a helium leak.
