You do know they really are short on food, don't you, John? It's been all
over the news. They'll be fine if/when the supply ship arrives (on
Christmas Day no less) but if it doesn't they're going to have to come
back. I suppose the Russian will do his own shopping and then head back
to the station. The American will probably just order a couple hundred
pizzas to go.
