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.

You're confused, which is my polite way of saying you're a troll.

Hint: Trump lies. Musk lies and despite their loud lies, there was no attempt to delay a rescue for political reasons.

Think about it (tall order, I know). What could be gained, back in June, from delaying a rescue, given that NASA, not the White House, had already been working with both SpaceX and Boeing (the latter being the guilty party), on various programs to service the ISS and the expected Lunar program.

In fact, the three parties (NASA, SpaceX and Boeing), agreed on the following plan in short order:

Sent SpaceX's Crew-9 to the IIS in September, but leave two empty seats. Crew-9 will remain tethered until mid February or so, and then the stranded astronauts will hitch a ride down, using the two empty seats.

Musk agreed to the plan and approved it, given that he's the SpaceX CEO.

The time table was necessitated by NASA's plan, as well as IIS plans and more importantly the stranded astronauts.

The return data was extended it by 3 weeks or so, to work on some issues.

So, Musk lied, Trump lied and you're one fat ass liar.

@Northwest ... and Space X (and Elon by default) is the beneficiary of lots and lots of taxpayer government spending that remarkably has not been chainsawed. That could just be a coincidence... I suppose.

@MarkPaul $20.7B in government contracts, nearly $8B paid out already. Rest not cut.

@Northwest Elon is a genius... in getting government handouts and creating a monopoly to do so. Maybe he can squeeze Tesla into that welfare program before it goes bust.

@Northwest

Proof? Musk, himself, said Biden refused his offer to go and get the stranded astronauts. Musk said on the news yesterday that Biden refused his initial plan to go on the rescue mission.

@MarkPaul

Musk is not nearly as smart as the members of your party who set up those cash cows in the first place. The stuff your party has been stealing money from makes me sick. You can deflect the blame all you like, but the theft is there for all the world to see. And since you back the party that has been engaged in stealing the public blind, and you are lying about it, I would greatly appreciate you not trashing this conversation by issuing one of your emptly denials.

@MarthannBann888 Since you accept what Musk says with 0.0 evidence and accept all of his suspicions, you have already trashed this conversation with your ignorance and undying devotion to Cry-Baby-trump and his co-president.
