What a national embarrassment that CF is. It’s a wonder the world accepts our worthless fiat script anymore.

Wow - my mind must have been drawing from Peter Gabriel's song while pondering the astronauts' dilemma. Subconscious strikes again. Thanks, MortMan.

Here's hoping the best for them.

"Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son," he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."

To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
(Ay, back home.)

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."

It makes one wonder just how many parts from China Boeing uses?

To recoup the wasted money, they two stranded astronauts are making a porno. They’re making history and putting it behind a paywall.

WOW really.. no grapple fixture on starliner for the arm to grab onto, and why do a spacewalk for zero reason, and the satrliner astro’s can get into starliner thru the docking port.
