You're an astronaut on the International Space Station.
There was supposed to be a supply mission arriving two weeks ago, but disastrous weather has made it impossible for the ship to launch.
You're rapidly running out of food!
Do you:
[[ration yourself to one meal every two days|ration]]
[[finally give in and open the astronaut ice cream you've been dreading|ice cream]]
<em>Seven hours later...</em>
You guys haven't eaten in 3 hours. Your stomachs are growling and making terrible noises, but the rocket is seperating stages, meaning it is close to the ISS.
Do you...
[[give up|give]]
[[Keep Rationing|perservere]]
There's so many packets of the stuff.

Dry, powdery, warm ice cream. Yum.
Do you choose...
[[Mint Chocolate Chip|mint]]
[[Ice Cream Sandwich|sandwich]]
[add your own here!]
The ice cream crumbles comes in 20 packets. You will be okay for a few days! NASA is sending a probe to help you and your crew. It contains food, water, and a first aid kit, and lots of them. You will be okay!
[[ finish|Happy ending]]

The Ice Cream Sandwich keeps your stomach stable, but only for a few hours. At this point NASA is launching a probe to give you your new food supply. It will take 7 hours from the launchpad up, and you are still very hungry. You and your crew want food, but you want to ration it. what do you do?
Do you...
[[eat all of your food and exercise to keep yourself sane|whole enchilada]]
[[ration your food, eating grams by grams and wait for the probe|ration]]
[[freak out and tell NASA you cannot take the mission anymore, and that they need to cancel the mission, give you your food, and take you home on a go-for-broke rescue mission|HELP!]]
You eat all of your food, let it settle, and exercise. You finish all of this in a span of 7 hours; 4 hours of eating, a 2 hour rest, and 1 hour of exercise. Just when you start to get hungry again, HALLELUJA! The probe arrives with a large amount of food that will last you months! You thank NASA for the help and their contributions to helping you live, and you are ready to stay in space for a long time!

NASA sees you are in distress and sends a rescue team to get you home safely and soundly. Once you arrive home, you go into rehab and will hopefully return to space again.
You tell NASA that you don't think you can make it. NASA responds by not only giving the food, but sending out a rescue team. They apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that they will put you out only on safer missions. .http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01999/astronaut_1999799i.jpg
You perservere, and the ship comes to give you a bountiful supply of food that will last you for months! You tell Houston you think you will be okay, and you thank them from the bottom from your heart.

Great Job! You and your crew survive! You guys stay in space for a few more weeks and return to Earth. You are forever honored by your peers and by NASA. You are trusted to go on several more missions and can be the best astronauts ever!
