Dragon Crew Returns to Earth With the Astronauts Biden Abandoned in Space

Coming in for splashdown right on time.

First splashdown in the Gulf of America?

Posted by: ShainS -- The Dissolution of The Autopen Empire

Good eyes! An historic first!

Here was the Dragon Crew arriving at the ISS (to pick up the astronauts that Biden callously abandoned because he didn't want to give Elon Musk any positive press):

It all went perfectly. I think.

You know the entire media was praying to Satan that the vehicle should blow up on reentry.

Let's hope the astronauts don't suffer any health complications 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.

115 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.

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".

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.

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!"

Without realizing she's an idiot who can't act and everything she's in will bomb except for the Hunger Games prequel. And Spielberg only cast her because she's reasonably attractive and can sing really well and has a huge instagram following.

Sadly, we lost Gus in an early Apollo test. An electrical short in an oxygen rich environment resulted in the fiery deaths of Grissom, White and Chafee.

There's a great scene in Right Stuff where the Mercury boys meet the publisher of a big magazine who's paying them some nice money for their stories. "Gus? An astronaut called Gus?" What's your first name? Virgil. Okay, what's your middle name? Ivan. Okay, you can be Gus.

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.

DOGE needs to gut it. I love space exploration and I’ve been watching and reading about it since the early 60’s.

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.
