Who can we believe anymore?

Laz takes no prisoners, LOL!

God and yourself.

[Jeff Chandler]

God and yourself.

And I'm casting a jaundiced eye on myself.

[Political Junkie Too]

The Russians wouldn't be making this allegation if President Trump were still in office.

Just saying...

Why, she looks stable to me.

Now, I’m not a medical person but wouldn’t a blood clot in your neck be an emergency and lead to an emergency evacuation?

I was wondering this myself.

Just because I don't believe this Russian claim (without a hell of a lot more proof) doesn't mean that NASA is squeaky clean.

And Nowak got less than a slap on the wrist from the judge.

You completely misread the article you linked.

Roscosmos did not deny the story at all.

They didn’t say it wasn’t true.

Irregardless of whether she drilled the whole or not, I have no faith in anything the government hast to say. The government is illegitimate and corrupt.

Umm, perhaps he was thinking of the first mission (STS-26 Discovery) after the Challenger event which happened in 1986?

NASA lists all their missions:

Hauk and Covey were the commander and pilot for STS-26.

"Hate to say it, but I'm buying the Russian story.

Me too!

There is no reason to not believe the Ruskies...

Can’t we just call her a hero for coming up with a way to go home and work on her mental health?

[Bikkuri]

It’s a ‘soygurl’...

[suthener]

“It’s a ‘soygurl’...”

Oops.

You completely misread the article you linked. Roscosmos did not deny the story at all. They didn’t say it wasn’t true.

Linked to the wrong article. Roscosmos chief denies allegations. Here you go:

"One thing is for sure, however, that "high-ranking source" can't be Roscosmos chief Rogozin.

Using the TASS mouthpiece in 2018, he denied rumours that a NASA astronaut had made the hole in the hope of securing an early return to Earth. "We have never accused the Americans of that. It was an unscrupulous interpretation of certain statements and media reports. I categorically deny these allegations as totally untrue," he said."
