The New York Post reports:
“Did they take Santa hats with them before they launched,” one commenter blithely asked on X. “Or did they knit them while they are there?” Another commenter chimed in: “These the same guys who went up for an 8-day mission in June?” A third commenter joked “The Gilligan’s Island tune is playing.”
Still others seemed to think that the presence of Christmas decorations were a sign of a grand conspiracy, and that the astronauts aren’t really stuck in space. “It’s all one big show,” writes one commenter. Another X user claimed that the astronauts floating in space were actually in a film studio somewhere.
