Those poor astronauts were scheduled to be up there 8 days.

They’ve been there for over 8 months!!!

Two female pilots. One Air Force, one Army Helo is the mission commander?

Roll the dice passengers.

They keep calling it “NASA” and Space X. This is a Space X operation, and the ship is pretty much automated. Realistically, the ship could get up there and dock with no people in it.

But yeah, sure... the “pilots” are girls.

Lots of flair on those uniforms.

As in Rick Flair

They could just send him up for the same schwing-show.

Uh you know that Dragon flies itself it’s fully automated. The “pilot” is just monitoring the flat panels there is no control stick in Dragon they couldn’t fly it if they wanted too. The first back up control is on the ground via Starlink datalinks the second backup is touchscreen on board but you are directing the computer to fly a corridor or orientation. The original Dragon had a small control knob in the center but Dragon 2 does not, look at the images of the cockpit it’s all screens and some buttons. With triple redundant computers on board and back up ballistic entry mode there is no need to have a pilot im manual control. I know that blows the boomer mind but it’s the same for every Airbus, and both the 777 and 787 triple computers work or you die and millions of people every day fly on Airbus and triple 7X7s

Win-win, for you & them. 🙂👍

Yeah. That’s the point. But two females will find a way to put a dent in the fender.

At least they're not two Asian female drivers. They're just the worst.
