I guess the ISS Crew is going to have to brush up on their "rock,
paper, scissors" skills to see who gets dessert until another supply
rocket is shot up!
[I am only kidding, I read already they have enough supplies to last

With that said, I am very curious on what is NASA's contingency plan
if our Russian friends for whatever reason can't or won't deliver
fulfill their promise?
