Great to hear. One of the astronauts was a friend of a friend of mine. I think that at least one of the words for the day is "competence". "Thankful" is another one.

Biden could have allowed Musk to do this months ago.

What an idiot.

Someone should have used his “auto-pen” for this.

It was too busy cranking out pardons for his co-conspirators and giveaways to illegal aliens.

Where there is a will there is a way. Good work from President Trump and Elon Musk.

If anyone is interested in what the folks at DU think about this:

“Democratic Underground is currently open to registered members only”

That may be just a coincidence. I think that they have been having some issues lately. On the other hand...

Those who didn’t watch really missed the cool event of the year. Musk and Trump are awesome. While retrieving the capsule, they were visited by a bunch of dolphins who wanted to help. Way too cool.

The talking point going around for Democrats is these astronauts were not stranded because they had plenty of food, water, and other supplies. They really are demented people.

The broadcasters are pretty woke “off the coast of Tallahassee, “in the sea;” nobody allowed to say Gulf of America” or even “gulf coast.”

The splash-down was so cool to watch. Hubs and I had prayed for everything to be a success. And, it was wonderful! Even a pod of dolphins celebrated!
