This delay forced the crew to reassess their plans for staying in space. How do astronauts celebrate Christmas? The journey, which began on June 5, aimed to conduct life science tests but was plagued by technical issues throughout, making the return to Earth uncertain.

Celebrating Christmas in space sparked questions about how the astronauts obtained the decorations, including Santa hats and a Christmas tree, which appeared in photos shared online. Some people questioned the possibility of sending these decorations to space on an stranded spacecraft, leading to a heated debate on social media. The official explanation: NASA's Space X confirmed to the New York Post that the decorations were not on board the spacecraft from the beginning of the journey but were part of a shipment sent in November by Space X.

In this case, despite being stranded for a long time, the astronauts were able to celebrate Christmas in a unique way, taking advantage of modern technology that allows for the shipment of decorations, food, and other items from Earth to space, enabling them to add a touch of celebration to their isolation.
