Because they're stupid and that's all they've got. And that's just objective truth, not rhetoric. It's always the dumbest thing I've ever heard. . . and then they talk again. Greenland. How dumb can you be?
When you've got nothing upstairs, lean on that crutch! And lean, lean, lean they do. Every minute of every day.
So wait. NASA,DoD and space force collectively strand astronauts with uncertain timeframe of bringing them home …… then a new president tasks probably the only company in the world capable of rescuing them and you guys are pissed ?
The corruption of the Biden administration must be addressed or it will be repeated in the next Dem administration. Investigations will take place. Hopefully the criminals will go to prison and when warranted their pensions will be eliminated. Some judges need to go to jail for violating the civil rights of citizens. Hopefully Pam "James" Bondi 007 is up to the task. Kash Patel will kick a lot of butts.
No. Speaking just for me, I opened the thread, and the article, expecting to read a feel-good story. Instead, it said the men were heading home in March, and Trump asked Elon to get ‘em home earlier. Which, again, would be nice. But then it devolved into, “Look at me, Biden’s bad.” And with that, the feel good story devolved into eyerolls.
Patently false. These astronauts have been scheduled to return in February since September. They took the place of two other astronauts that went up in October and are performing their mission. The only reason they’re coming back in March instead of February is due to SpaceX delays.
Deporting millions of thugs and their drugs, is improving the country, not about pissing off the Left (conversely, opening up the borders was about sticking it to the deplorables, country be damned); DOGE is about improving and saving the country; Biden's 9 Trillion dollar spending orgy, was about doing the Chicoms' bidding to suicide ourselves, not any good of OUR country; Green scam was about taking care of his own corrupt cronies, not about saving the world (lol) and dsmn sure not about improving OUR country... I could go on, but please... don't insult our intelligence by suggesting the Chicom puppet party was or is, anything about improving our country (and stop with the 'from the middle' shit--you are indeed one of the more reasonable posters here from the Left, but you are well Left of center).
This is about the most ridiculous post in a while lol. If Boeing did their job. Space X would not have been asked to do something. Something it had no plans to do. And by the way…that involves putting humans in a tiny capsule in space and burning through the atmosphere. This is on Boeing. Period! The fact they can’t get it done (to be fair…the launch should have had one questioning with all the delays and fiascos there) has nothing to do with the fact Space X will get it down quickly. And now maybe quicker. Feels good to build some political capital though!
Ok. Fair enough. I do see a link from discover below that seems to indicate there was an additional delay in December 2024. Still uncertain why people are upset if trump says ‘bring them home’. Another Delay Postpones NASA Astronauts' Return to Earth in 2025
Literally nobody is upset with bringing astronauts home. That’s just what social media has done to your brain.
If not Space X, who is going to bring them home? We don't have a shuttle program anymore. Surely, you don't want to pay the Russians 30 million more than Space X would do it for? NASA's deal to fly astronauts with Boeing is turning out to be much more expensive than SpaceX
I’m all for SpaceX getting the job done. I’d prefer if this new administration can focus on doing the job instead of ending every sentence with a finger-point of blame—contrived or real.
They're not stranded. If there was an emergency that could leave immediately. They've been asked to stay on with another team and complete a mission that's due to end in March or April. The SpaceX capsule is already there that will be returning them all when their mission is done.
People are upset with the US setting the rescue of the astronauts as a top priority because they are irrational.
