Not a big movie buff...but still my all-time fav movie.

Before its over it may make Apollo 13 look like a picnic.

Having Joe Bidet announce what a hero you were is a really bad way to leave this world.

I always felt bad for our heros that had to endure receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor from that POS obama......and that goes for taterhead as well.

This has the makings of a Country & Western song.

Why ask the Russians , crew Dragon Endeavor is docked at the ISS right now, it can hold up to seven that’s one more than the 4 plus the 2 stranded NASA guys. Ask Elon super nice if he will let them come home on Endeavor.

I think the ship was Pan Am maybe a Boeing craft?

Been waaaaaay too long since I looked at it

[SaveFerris]

Great graphic but “I” see what they didn’t there...

“They love Starliner, they love being in the vehicle, they love being on ISS,” Weigel said on Tuesday. “I think, you know, if you ask Butch and Suni, they might want to stay for a long period of time.”

How long is wei tiáo lóng?

2024 is a Dragon year, after all.

If the person asking you if you are happy is the one with your ticket home from orbit you will say whatever you have to say to get that ticket home.

These astronauts have a gun to their head—their pronouncements should be treated like those of prisoners of war.

Great point.

Never a bad DEI out there!

Who would trust NASA with their lives anymore anyway?

It was a sketchy enough proposition in the 60s, so I can understand why people think the Moon landings were faked.

Fake, or must have involved multiple miracles, the work of a much higher power.

One of the lessons I learned fairly quickly in the corporate world was never trust anyone who will lose their job if they say the opposite of their public statements.

They have an inherent conflict of interest.

If you think about it that applies to everybody who is interviewed by the mass media—all corporate executives or leaders of any large organization of any kind and of course all government officials.

Why would you believe anything someone says with a gun to their head?

I wonder how the “It’s a Boeing. WTH are you doing going to outer space on a craft that cant fly in inner space?” I bet the mind worms of astronauts get pretty sever.

[Delta 21]

OJ didnt inspire?

I believed in the Patton quote:

“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”

That applied and applies to the Space Race as well.

Tain’t nothing a little more moslim outreach won’t fix...

[Red Badger]

Look for the union label...................
