On an island you can call for a boat or a helicopter. You can relax and eat all your food knowing those options exist.
On a space station your options are considerably more limited.

A month sounds like a reasonable timeline to get an unexpected rescue mission to the ISS. Which isn't great if you need a medevac, but that's why they have enough space craft docked
- shiroiushi 2y ago>On an island you can call for a boat or a helicopter. Boat, yes; helicopter, no, unless the island is pretty close to civilization. Helicopters have very limited range. No helicopter is going to rescue you from some remote island in the south Pacific, unless it was launched from a rescue ship (in which case it was really the ship that rescued you; the helicopter was merely more convenient for transportation between the ship and the island than a tender boat).
