Left them to die because they suffer from a disease. It’s probably time to fix this TDS

Thanks to the scientists and engineers of SpaceX. Not thanks to the money guy that doesn't do the work.

Because SpaceX had the contract from NASA.
I don't remember the fanfare when this happened a few years ago:
Boeing was supposed to bring them back, but the Starliner was deemed unsafe by NASA to travel back with them on board.
According to Musk,
"The astronauts were only supposed to be there for eight days, and they've been there for almost ten months. So, obviously, that doesn't make any sense. SpaceX could have brought the astronauts back after a few months at most, and we made that offer to the Biden administration. It was rejected for political reasons, and that's just a fact."98 -
Is this the first successful landing to take place in the Gulf of America?

the fancy ones aren't for landing people wrote:
I'm glad they didn't use Elon's backwards-landing rockets. Those are impressive, but just not safe for landing people.
Only the Russians can safely land people on land. They use backwards rockets too, but in conjunction with a parachute.
I think the Russians keep a spare Soyuz capsule attached to the station for an escape route, but didn't want to waste it on the unfriendly USA
There was a Dragon capsule docked at the ISS since September that they could have used to return to Earth if needed; they were required (and they were totally ok with it, if you read about it) to stay so that the ISS wouldn't be left without a crew

This is true. They could have come have home months ago, but it was economically more efficient to keep them up there and just wait for the next crew that flew up to switch out. This also allowed more experiments to be conducted without the absence of a science team at the station. The "stranded" talk is coming for overblown morans.

According to everyone else in the world, it's the Gulf of Mexico. Trusting corporations over people is scary.
Corporations are people. See Citizens United.
Ok, Mitt. Using that foolish logic, Black people can't be citizens. See Dred Scott. A bad decision by SCOTUS only creates a temporary reality. Truth, ethics, facts, reality..... those usually win in the end. Otherwise, we are truly staring into the abyss.

One of the more interesting phenomenon's of my adult life has been the speed at which Leftists adapt and parrot "new" diction (e.g. from 1990-2015ish, virtually nobody used the term "fascist"; post 2015 there has been a rapid increase in usage of "fascism",
a far Left collectivist ideology, to mean a slur referring to "left/center-left populists").It makes me realize the power that language has on their world-view, and explains why they are left apoplectic and helpless at more organically created words/phrases like "woke" and "thug". In that sense, it is imperative that normal people relentlessly use those sorts of phrases.

Fascism is a political movement whereby totalitarianism is linked with corporatism. How is the Trump administration not precisely that?
