Stranded in Space

Elon Musk's rocket rescued the astronauts from the space station today. They had been stranded in space for eight months. The Biden administration refused permission to allow a rescue. The health of the individuals has been compromised due to the length of time they were stranded.

The are all alive.

None of this is true nor does it even measure up for reasonableness as fan fiction.

So, let's try this...

Elon Musk could have rescued the astronauts sooner, but was too busy showing off his mad chainsaw skills (except for the part where he thought the sound of a chainsaw is, "CHAINSAW") and Cry-Baby-trump withheld the approval for the rescue mission because he didn't want it to drown him out of media attention. He finally relented when Elon offered him $1 M (USD). Still, Elon is no hero, since he is charging the astronauts for the rescue.

@MarkPaul NDT has a great synopsis on 'star talk' about an astronauts mission and how this event folds into the astronauts expectation of risk..

@MarkPaul but Elon did rescue them while working for a far better administration than the previous one, who didn't rescue them

@Midlifemale That's not true either...

1. The astronauts themselves said they weren't abandoned, stranded, or forgotten. Unless you are reporting they were "hostages" giving a "hostage statement," your fan fiction isn't believable.

2. Neither the Biden Administration nor the Cry-Baby-trump (illegal) administration rescued the astronauts. They were transported to the ISS by a new space ship that while having been tested was still unproven. It was its first crewed mission. The astronauts knew the risks and they were part of the decision to stay behind as the ship returned without a crew... for safety reasons.

3. Space X sent a transport vehicle as soon as they could. Neither the Biden Administration nor the Cry-Baby-trump (illegal) administration had any voice, vote, or decision-making voice in that decision.

Elon's Space X vehicle is more tried and tested, thanks to government funding, support, and on-going subsidies spanning multiple Administrations that started with Obama who made the decision to privatize space travel to help reduce NASA costs and make government more efficient in an intelligent way... without a chainsaw.
