Outstanding news! More in the link.

They must be terrified witless by this point.

[metmom]

Thank God!!!!

Suni Williams is Sunita Williams, of Indian origin, born in the USA.

That was already the plan. Crew dragon scheduled to go up in March.

If Musk were to pull this off, it would be ticker tape parade time.

I wonder if the Biden Administration was delaying this mission by SpaceX because they didn't want to make Elon Musk the "hero"?

Especially before the election?

[usafa92]

Elon and SpaceX were always going to go get the astronauts after Boeing flubbed the mission. However, it kept getting pushed. From Feb to March and now April. What’s unclear is if Trump is asking Elon to accelerate or if they are still going in April.

(What’s unclear is if Trump is asking Elon to accelerate or if they are still going in April.)

That’s a good question. Hopefully we’ll get some answers soon. SpaceX has to get a ton of calculations right to make this work.

I can’t imagine being stuck in Some tube without the ability to step out side just to take a Leak !

“They must be terrified witless by this point”

Astronauts “terrified witless”? Why? They’re not alone up there, repeated supply missions arrive, and they know they’ll be accommodated on a return mission within the next few months.

Stumbled on this the other day from Elon, just WOW:

I could see them sacrificing lives like that.

Human life means nothing to democrats.

[Macho MAGA Man]

Holy cow!!!!

How did I miss that? That was insane 😯

NASA needs to be emptied and re-started. It is Los Angeles: cool toys with nobody to run them.

[Ciaphas Cain]

It’s like all those rockets from the Looney Tunes cartoons landing bottom-down, except it’s real life!

[kiryandil]

Suni Williams is Sunita Williams, of Indian origin, born in the USA.

Suni is also Slovenian, like First Lady Melania Trump.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like you know all about it.

How many times have you been on the ISS?

[coloradan]

Meanwhile, all the government flunctionaries and gaslight media outlets that repeated their claims, “No, the astronauts aren’t stranded”, should apologize for their lies.

First Lady Melania Trump is an American.
