The Zvezda module has been in orbit since July 2000. I don't think any crewed interplanetary mission is going to last that long for the foreseeable future.

- oersted 3mo agoThere have been quite a few instances over the years of Zvezda requiring repairs that would have been impossible without resupply from Earth. I suppose that they were counting on the capability to resupply, otherwise they might have carried more contingencies from launch, but still.
