since the international space station use extensive recycling methods for its water . and after that fiasco with not bringing enough food on the station in 2004 NASA have almost tripled the amount of food brought on missions and resupply trips. Since NASA astronaughts only conduct 6 month tours on the ISS because Zero G is unhealthy for humans. I say the the Station has at least 1 year or most likely even more if the crew went on full rationing mode and take advantage of using all their recycling gear. Still most likely in this case i agree that they are totally F***ed and even if they had enough food to survive for many years and some one do rescue them their body would be damaged from the years they spend in zeroG.
