Yes. The ULA ship failed so hard they can't use it. SpaceX has already proven they can do it better and cheaper. But ULA wants that money and SpaceX = musk = bad.
What a stroke of brilliance for Trump to literally point out how democrats will not applaud that which is good for America. I'm sure that at least planted a seed of doubt in even the most hardcore normie.
The cope is working overtime. They made the astronauts say they aren't stranded up there and are happy to be stuck at work for 9 months. The closest they got to saying how they feel about being stranded is one has said she really misses her dogs.
The longest continuous time spent in outer space by an individual is 437 days, 17 hours, and 58 minutes. This record was set by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov during his stay aboard the Mir space station from January 8, 1994, to March 22, 1995. Polyakov, a physician, conducted medical experiments and studied the effects of long-duration spaceflight on the human body, proving that humans could withstand the physical and psychological stresses of extended missions—critical knowledge for future endeavors like a trip to Mars.
Yikes. Corrected. That Grok is the dude. The current astro's might have a shot at that Russian record of 437 days before Elon get's to them. There have already been reports on weight loss and health issues - particularly with the woman. Gravity plays a role in human physiology, particularly in circulation. It can't be good for them. I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah my thoughts as well. I asked Grok about what they do to keep good circulation and it is pretty much what I expected. And yeah - Grok is getting really good. I like it better than search engines for almost everything.
Astronauts take several measures to maintain good blood circulation while in space, where microgravity can cause fluids to shift and pool in the upper body, potentially leading to circulatory issues. Here’s what they do:
Exercise is a big one. Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) spend about 2 hours a day working out with specialized equipment. They use a treadmill with harnesses to simulate walking or running, a stationary bike that doesn’t need a seat (since there’s no "sitting" in zero-G), and a resistance device called the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED) that mimics weightlifting. These activities keep their muscles pumping, which helps push blood around the body and counteracts the lack of gravity pulling it downward.
They also wear compression garments sometimes, like tight-fitting cuffs or suits, to squeeze the legs and encourage blood flow back toward the heart. This is similar to how compression socks work on Earth for people who sit too long. Fluid loading is another trick—before coming back to Earth, they drink a salty solution to boost blood volume, prepping their system for gravity again.
Microgravity messes with circulation because there’s no downward force to help blood pool in the legs like it does on Earth. Without intervention, astronauts could lose muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular fitness, plus face issues like puffy faces or even vision problems from fluid buildup in the head. The exercise and other hacks keep their systems from getting too lazy up there.
Yea, we don't send up spares or additional supplies, we send just enough food for the mission and that's it. Any problems? Like delays or lost or spoiled food? People immediately starve.
Or.. NASA is just better at planning things than you are..
What political reasons?? Not letting Musk help?!?

They didn't want a prominent Trump supporter to be seen as a hero
Are they really up there?
Oh my!
I HATE to be the one. But weightlessness for 8 months has never been done to a human being. I pray it's not fatal for them.
Grok disagrees.

The problem?
Yes, a Russian was up there a long time, but he was most likely that Russian from the Rocky movie.
These American astronauts are 180 degrees removed from the Mercury and Apollo program.
I do worry for their health, because they most likely do not have the bodies to spend a couple weeks in space.
Noone respects NASA anymore. It is a joke. A dept of education program for space cadets.
Needs to be abolished today.
All retards work for NASA now.
I don't get it. How can they survive that long, when the food and things were provided for a shorter amount of time? Something isn't right.... SMH
Yea, we don't send up spares or additional supplies, we send just enough food for the mission and that's it. Any problems? Like delays or lost or spoiled food? People immediately starve.

Amazon Plasma. Like Prime but hotter.
Clever
From the camera guy.. in the studio? /s hehe movie!!! 🐸🎥
Where are the hats?
It's all bullshit. We are supposed to believe they got unexpectedly stuck for 8 months but had the foresight to bring santa hats. Okay...
This is fucking retarded. They'd be dead by now from dehydration, let alone starvation
You understand that the ISS recycles urine into drinking water, right?
didnt you hear? theyre all dead! starvation and dehydration!
I wonder if they'll vote Democrat next time? Elon should send them up MAGA hats to wear when they exit their return space capsule. Let MSM cover that.
What are the odds this will be reported by MSM?
Wait the dems were lying?.......again?!!!!!!!
Umm…food? 8 mths vs 8 days? Not sure I buy it.
What a POS Biden is.
