I thought it was hilarious that one of the rescue crew (Russian) wore an ALIEN mask as he entered the ISS.
Perfect splashdown. Health issues, especially for late-middle aged astros, include osteoporosis and muscle wasting. Also, when you're on orbit, your bodily fluids migrate "up," so you feel like your sinuses are clogged the whole time, kind of like hanging upside down. The other thing, which is seldom discussed with civilians, is that you're above the atmosphere and thus exposed to hard radiation through the skin of the ship for all those months. That's just one of the challenges we'll have to beat for a Mars mission, as the Martian atmosphere is too thin to protect you from cosmic rays.

due to Biden leaving them in zero gravity for unplanned months. Which he did because he had an election coming up and prioritized that over the safe return of the astronauts.
What a senile old fucking bastard. --------------------- Don't forget it was the people behind Biden's "pen" making these decisions.

Kept hearing about the poor stranded astronauts, and finally looked at the Wiki entries. Both of them have been to the ISS before, in fact Suni was in command once. I'm sure they would have preferred to return as scheduled but neither was inexperienced. Which was something of a surprise after repeatedly hearing "poor stranded astronauts".

Who you callin' senile, jack? I remember plenty! Like when we used to slay dragons, not feed them spacemen.
I might be a whiskey swilling Fenian pervert, but I still helped the English, because I take action when a dragon's on the loose! They had one of these scaly MAGA reptiles prowling the countryside. The Princess told me all about how that orange bastard gobbled up all the cattle, stole all the jewels, and then started gobbling up whole people, by jove! So I shot him right in the mouth with Jill's 8-gauge blunderbuss, because Democrats believe all women. He was deader than my beloved son Beau, who he'd already bitten in two. I tried to save him, which is when I founded the Red Cross, and the Princess so grateful that she made it the flag of England. Then she let Lil' Hunty bang her out while he held a gun to her head, high on ye olde cracke. True story. Word as a Brandon. Posted by: Brandon at March 18, 2025 06:23 PM (BI5O2) 156

Cats a fabulous, and so are you. How are you doing? Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at March 18, 2025 06:17 PM (Vvh2V) Thanks so much for asking! Getting better. My uncle died at 92 in February. I was a pallbearer and caught a cold. I rarely get sick. He lived in his house up to the last several months. I was go-to person for him. His daughters live in the next city so if they were worried I would check in on him. I took care of yardwork and helped him out. Never wanted anything. Everything was to honor my Father. But after 10 years, my uncle did give me money which was nice. Didn't need to, but that was nice. So 2 dead. Tough year. Less importantly, my hard drive died, I lost my Microsoft account and the phone for 2 way verification is gone. That's a gift that keeps on giving. My usual response to "How are you?" is "Every moment, pure joy." Which always gets a laugh. I'm getting better. Thank you so much for asking. I have to so post pics to the Pet thread....

Well she has a bit of a hand up: the great Steven Spielberg cast her as a lead, which led every studio in town to think "she's the next BIG THING we should cast her too!"

268 Gref,
I remember the Russians standing outside of the Space Station Processing Facility smoking cigarettes. They were pretty friendly but kind of grumpy. "So, you call this a free country? We have to go outside to smoke! In Russia we can smoke where ever we want!" Some of them became legendary with the heavy partying set. Posted by: pawn at March 18, 2025 06:41 PM (QB+5g) I dealt with the Russian manned spaceflight organization almost daily from late 1992 to mid-1997, working the Shuttle-Mir Program. The Russians were friendly, overall, but they could be 'difficult' to say the least. They are smart space guys. We got along by never talking foreign affairs/politics. Made easier by the fall of the USSR a couple years before we started our work. Some managers still had huge portraits of Lenin in their offices. A statue of Lenin remained in the lobby of Mir Mission Control Center. But both sides knew it was a shotgun marriage. That job almost killed me but I will never regret getting that assignment.

So which happens next?
1. Boeing brings Starliner in remotely, it lands okay, and they complain bitterly and loudly that SpaceX stole their thunder, with vocal support from everyone on the Left because as we know, progressivism is supporting Boeing so long as it hurts Musk 2. Boeing brings Starliner in remotely, it burns or breaks up, and they issue a terse media statement with no further comment Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at March 18, 2025 06:53 PM (kBSKe) 349

Phenomenal! I am in such awe over Elon genius when I think of all of the progressive businesses he has created. Watching Space X retrieve the stranded astronauts while over compensated, sexist, racist, NASA sat around waiting for Elon to rescue the astronauts tells me, enough is enough with NASA. DOGE needs to gut it. I love space exploration and I’ve been watching and reading about it since the early 60’s. However, to watch what Elon has done in just five years is it it’s it’s amazing and NASA she just behind their heads in shame..

I’ll bet the big wigs of NASA have realized their days are numbers. Look what Musk has done inside 10 years compared to the trillions of dollars and decades NASA has be around. Granted there are some wonderful outer space satellites and probes out in space which I love to read and see about but to not bring in people to move the program into the 21 century is what hold this country back…the old guard. The status quo. Cough. Look at the dragon, the space suits, their boots, the way they sit inside the capsule, the retrieving of the capsule after landing in the water, not to mention the greatest feat of all…the chopsticks! Fucking AWESOME Yeah, Doge needs to clean house with NASA and I’m sure they all fear it that why they are kissing his ass ever time they meet. Cushy fucking jobs for decades for the boys down there in FLA.
