This so-called "Mission One" did not result in any “space beer” because it took four weeks to retrieve the payload and most of the yeast cells died.. Huh, turns out they just couldn't find the rocket in time so the yeast died waiting for pickup.

Well, the rocket is gone and niter the payload nor the ISS have fuel to spend. So they sync up orbits slowly, risking the live of experiments. But still able to rendevouz later.

They did.
I didn't know that, but it's very possible. Experiments aren't handled as careful as astronauts and it's up to about 36 hours up and down in zero pressure, low temperature.
