If problems develop during descent, the astronauts know that our good friends and neighbors in Canada can provide a soft landing area. Just like in 2024.
"Will Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore be rescued after getting stranded in orbit?
Sort of.
Not really.
The spacecraft that will bring back S. Williams and Butch Wilmore has been docked at the space station since late Sept and could have returned to Earth at any time." https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/science/nasa-spacex-astronauts-iss-launch.html
Thanks for posting this. Saved me from having to dig it up. Id like to repeat for the kids in the back though. The Dragon Capsule has been docked to the ISS since LAST SEPT. They are not stranded. If they had to they could come back today.
Trust me, I also love watching Musk fall on his face and I share your healthy skepticism (though I kind of don’t mind this time because those stranded astronauts really do deserve to come home)
oh no you see ,you cannot come back unless you record a video saying that the drug addled neo-nazi psycopath and his lunatic mother are the bestest people ever and elmo is a very clever little boy.
Fear not, Putin will likely save the day and Trump will bask in the glory. That's if Putin can get it up mind you, there's been some dismal failures lately.
Well it's a good question. I mean, has anyone ever conducted a randomized controlled trial to see if there are benefits to bringing astronauts back from space? Plus, re-entry causes a lot of anxiety. We can be confident they're happier staying in space forever.
Somehow i don't think technocracy works when people are stuck up in space, at least when NASA was telling people the parameters they needed to go by, companies could compete to fit within the parameters.

We're so doomed. At least we'll die laughing.

Whether or not I’m no one is up to you.
Ask them?
Why would we do that?
Asking the easy questions, assuming the worst answers.
Elo. Plans to being down the iss and replace it.
If
He had the means to do it
He would already have done it .
Hes a fucktard.
Thats it .
