If there was a nuclear war and we all got wiped out?

Question

I'm sure they'd find a Tesco open somewhere...

They can live until they run out of food and water, but then they just get into the soyuz escape capsule and return to earth, I am sure they could find food and water when they got back.

Probably untill there food & water run out unless they found another planet to live on.
