Ohmygod. Ohmygod. We're in The Sun. We're in *the* British tabloid. And what is it about? Eating astronauts.

@ZachWeinersmith But don't you argue the opposite? That they probably won't go to cannibalism?
Although, considering how much meat there is on a person... It seems wasteful to give it to the worms without sending it through the ol' digestero first.

@ZachWeinersmith Well, NASA is firmly committed to pretending that sex doesn't happen in space so the whole cannibalism thing is an interesting new angle. While you're down there I suppose someone should touch upon "radition exposure while pooping" as well 👍 .

If you check out the Ridley Scott documentary about being stranded on Mars and eating potatoes grown in human shit you’ll see in the deleted scenes they did film the cannibalism angle. The commentary by Dr. Hannibal Lector mostly talks about seasonings and tenderizers but it’s still riveting when combined with the screams of the stand in who served as the meals.
