After Wilmore and Williams recently posed in Santa hats, conspiracy theorists decided that NASA was actually filming astronauts on Earth, not in space. Many supporters of various theories are puzzled as to why Santa hats suddenly appeared among astronauts in orbit. “Did they bring Santa hats with them before the launch? Or did they tie them up while they were there?” wonders one skeptic.
In addition, in November, NASA was accused of the fact that both experts experienced the “Nikolaev Effect” – the destruction of a person’s psychophysical health due to inactivity in conditions of weightlessness. This is also manifested by a decrease in the volume of blood pumped by the heart.
In November, NASA fended off the accusations, but now, after seeing Santa hats on the ISS, the “conspirators” are sure that the astronauts have already returned to Earth, but continue to imagine them in space to increase interest. This issue came to the fore at a time when public interest in orbital flights and space tourism was decreasing. “This is all just a show,” another commenter said.
NASA took the allegations seriously. The agency announced that Wilmore and Williams reported on each cargo mission sent to the ISS to deliver supplies, equipment and supplies during their stay on the station. “Santa hats, other decorations, special gifts for ISS crew members and Christmas dinners were part of the 3-ton cargo SpaceX delivered in late November,” NASA explained in an op-ed for the New York Post.
