    Why couldn’t the Democrats do this 9 months ago? Liberals are incompetent and hate anything American. If it was Ukrainian Astronauts, they would have been brought home already.

    It's literally called the International Space Station. The crew are not exclusively from the U.S. But yes, let's politic this. I sincerely hope it doesn't backfire.

    Still didn’t answer the question. Why didn’t Biden rescue this crew sooner?

    Why didn't Trumph snap his fingers and bring 'em home on day one, just like when he ended the Ukraine war and fixed the price of eggs?

    They would have probably died of old age up there if the Biden administration had won again. Good thing we have someone in office who puts America first instead of someone that doesn’t care about Americans

    Because NASA decided for them to stay up there and do ISS work and return home on the next space x launch in spring 2025. This was decided by NASA PMs back in September. It's very expensive to send astronauts into orbit, so they took advantage of the situation since returning on Boeing starliner was deemed too risky.

    Trump is just using it as political theater. The plan was hatched out before he took office.

    Launching a rescue missions isn’t an overnight thing; Armageddon was a cheesy (and guilty pleasure of mine) movie; not reality.
