“ Obama appointed federal district judge orders Musk to return NASA astronauts to ISS.”
LOL!
Wouldn’t surprise me at this point.

This is going to cause significate 2nd stage butthurt burn when the leftist mental cases hear that such nice comments were made to Trump and Musk. They should hang Trumps official portrait on board ISS.

"Obama appointed federal district judge orders Musk to return NASA astronauts to ISS.”

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell had to take a week off of work since Trump has worn him out.

Yep! The dems are going to hate Musk and Trump even more now.
I wouldn’t doubt that many on the left hope for an explosion on the way back Tuesday. I’m praying everything goes well…..

So you are suggesting that they don’t serve a lot of cabbage beans and cauliflower then?

The pee problem is likely to be the worst thing that happens on this entire mission. I mean, worst for the technology. This has been a disaster for the Demagogic Party, for Biden, and for Boeing and its employees who/which will continue to be pissed at both.

How does anyone cope with that kind of confinement and remain in a mental state that would be considered functional?

By focusing on the lawsuits and book deals.

” What is it now...290ish days? In a weightless can with no way out. I would have no joke probably had a psychotic meltdown. How does anyone cope with that kind of confinement and remain in a mental state that would be considered functional?”

The worst part of it for most of the time was - there was no future date they could pin their hopes on. It was always some fuzzy time in the future. Not having that date to focus on as when you’re getting out of there would be the one thing that would drive me bananas. No light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak.

They screen the astronauts for the “right stuff”.I recommend reading that book by Tom Wolfe...namely “The Right Stuff”...movie was OK...book is waaaaay better.

I think he knows he’s gonna get canned. He is looking for a soft spot to land. He is such a phony” hired gun “type liberal. He’ll spout of anything for a buck. Despicable.

Does that woman not have an elastic to tie her hair back with? Does she not know how to braid it? She looks like Medusa. You know, I bought my condo from two Indian sisters, both with long, thick black hair. I was pulling their hair out of drains for months and it would also clog up the vacuum cleaner. Can you imagine how loose strands of her hair is probably floating around in that capsule, draping across someone's eyes or caught in their mouth? Ick.

I know they're both probably ready to kill each other at this point, although I read that they weren't the astronauts left longest in space... some guy went 340 days. But they're getting close.

” it is very cramped quarters. “

It isn’t huge like an auditorium for sure but consider that, in the micro-gravity environment, you float around and make use of all the 3D space. That was very apparent during the new crew arrival a day ago.

There is elaborate filtration to minimize that. That’s why short hair styles aren’t required. When short hair is chosen by a female crew member (like the new commander), it is presumably because it considerably reduces the time required to “dry shampoo” and generally care for the hair with very little water available (i.e. none) for the task.
