Love to see it! Biden and Boeing stranded these brave scientists for far too long. Thank God for Elon Musk saving the day, and that neither of these astronauts were Jewish otherwise new Hitler would have pulled a Boeing and left them there (or so I'm told at least).
 
Can someone explain how NASA isn't capable of completing this mission ? It mind blowing that they have to rely on national hero Elon Musk to save the Astronauts. What was Biden doing last year ? What has NASA been doing ? We put a man on the moon in 1969 but need space x to go into space in 2025 ?

They don’t have a vehicle capable of it.

In hindsight the space shuttle was a boondoggle NASA never recovered from…uber expensive and unsustainable.

You love to be a loser, don't you.

During the Obama years NASA main focus was becoming a Muslim outreach center.

SpaceX was learning how to reuse boosters and NASA was learning proper rug placement.

Is this what you're envisioning?

A reuseable space shuttle was a very good aim and idea but correct they did not fly near as many times as they were scheduled to. A lot of new technology and materials were developed during the program so that was good and there was proof of concept in doing a lot of EVA fixing of equipment etc in outer space.

Decisions were made for private companies to compete to shuttle astronauts to the Inter Space Station. The public were not excited enough about routine space launches to fund it in NASA as they saw that as excess govt spending. The public were bored with Apollo after flight #12. The friggin Vietnam war was a main drain the public didnt like.

But Apollo-Soyuz was good as was Skylab a good program and they rolled into the shuttle program. NASA still has a large booster rocket program and moon landing programs working with private companies. NASA still launches a lot of satellites for Earth orbit and deep space research.

I dont think the public thought the private companies would be getting billions and billions of their tax money to subsidize their operations but they have gotten the money.

Oh another stupid trolling post. Musk didnt invent space flight and rocket systems. As the saying goes, Musk is standing on the shoulders of giants who developed and proved space flight. SpaceX started with govt money and a lot of former NASA scientists and technical people. About the only novel thing SpaceX has done is have the booster land upright to be reuseable. The whole Apollo program was amazing from Mercury thru Apollo.

Boeing has been lagging behind and not doing a great job with their project but this is not the first time nor the 1,000th time we have paid for cost overruns and late deliveries of contracted goods by the defense dept contractors and other contractors.

Private companies can be nimble, take risks, and innovate in ways that the government is incapable of doing. This is a great example of government working with private industry for a better outcome.

You are belittling his accomplishments? WTF have you ever done?

Oh another stupid trolling post.
 
Kind of crazy how these cameras can capture a relatively small object (approximately the size of a large SUV) that is >80 miles away and traveling twice the speed of a rifle bullet.

Almost seems...fake. 🤓

He just sent people into outer space to save Astronauts. Like the Avengers. So, basically, in this case, he's at least Nick Fury. He should get an eyepatch, I agree.
 
Biden said “No way, not while I’m in office.”

Then all the Dems got together and lied about it.

Then sadly a Norwegian ISS commander lied about it.

All because of EDS.
No. The Dragon capsule was already at the space station they just didn’t want to burn $200 million to bring them home sooner.
 
I had an opportunity to watch this today in between appointments.
Absolute fantastic TV.
Congrats to Space Xan the USA..
Very powerful moment. Imagine how massive of a news story this would have been 20 or 30 years ago vs today. It's sad that the left won't celebrate this wild success/rescue mission because of their cult like hatred of Elon musk.
