Just watched the interview with the 2 stranded Astronauts. Both dutifully refused to condemn NASA's over caution over the Boeing capsule which they could have returned on but were prevented. 
I often wondered what happens if someone dies in Space or falls seriously ill. Without a shuttle anymore, how would they get them back? Also what happens if one astronaut goes nuts  or kills or rapes another? What is the protocol? 
Has anyone had sex in Space?

This week's full Moon is special for several reasons. (1) It's the Harvest Moon, the full Moon closest to the autumnal equinox. (2) It's a perigee Moon, slightly closer to Earth than usual. And, (3), it's going to be partially eclipsed.

It looks like last night's aurora display was nearly as good as the display in May. The weather was also almost perfect too. It's just a shame that it happened in the second half of the night, where most people would have missed it (especially on a weeknight). That said, the almost full moon will have likely drowned a lot of the aurorae out (the Moon phase was almost perfect for May's event - a young crescent).
