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

It's the Gulf of Mexico, you idiot. Just because some fascist orange guy calls it something else, it doesn't mean it's something else.

According to Apple Maps, it’s the Gulf of America. I actually don’t care what it’s called, it’s just a weird flex to change the name.

What SpaceX did today is amazing. You may not agree with the Chief Engineer and CEO’s politics, but this is an amazing achievement from the company.

Unfriendly? What other country is making public pronouncements pretending that they didn't start the war?

Is it though? Returning someone from the ISS is amazing? Going to and from space is something humans having been doing for over half a century at this point.

Yet, nobody else could do it for nearly 10 months, especially a private Company.

I’m sure the stranded astronauts and their families have a great respect for the company.

Boeing has been sending these capsules to the space station for decades. I get that SpaceX is a much newer company but I don't get the hype.
