How long could the shuttle stay up there if it was deemed unsafe to return?
They might have been preparing to orbit for long enough to launch a rescue mission.
100 is probably still to many. I’m suprized they didn’t just buy a box of them, or ask the manufacturers, who surely have the most data on average tampon consumption.
Tbh, the story was reported by Ride on a talk show for laughs. It’s not exactly a well-documented incidence.
Likely, the package they ordered had 100pcs in them (because it’s meant for commercial clients) and they asked her something like “We got 100 here, how many do you need?”
It’s of course fun to insinuate that NASA engineers have never been close to women and thus have no idea how tampons work, but it’s more likely that this was just played up for laughs at a talk show.

Why ask the manufacturer about the average consumption when you can ask the person in question about the real consumption?
