“Stranded” 😒
What would you call it? They couldn’t leave. They were supposed to only be there for 8 days.
This was a running narrative pushed by pro-Musk media, everyone associated with spaceflight has been online the whole time going “uh dudes it’s cool we know how launch windows work, things take time, folks are working on it”
Literally a symptom of the disinformation bubble you’re living in
I like Musk and Trump. So this is awesome.
Well, what’s it feel like to look in the mirror and see a chump every morning?
I don’t know.
the astronauts themselves stated they arent stranded.
“We come prepared, we come committed. That is what your human spaceflight program is: It prepares for any and all contingencies that we can conceive of, and we prepare for those,” Wilmore told Cooper. “We don’t feel abandoned. We don’t feel stuck. We don’t feel stranded.” In fact, Wilmore pointed out, all the astronauts aboard the ISS are capable of returning to Earth immediately, in the event of an emergency. “We would never expect to come back, just special for us or anyone, unless it was a medical issue or something really, really out of the [normal] circumstances,” he said. “Help us change the rhetoric,” Wilmore asked Cooper. “Let’s change it to ‘prepared and committed.’”
Fair enough. Let’s just say they had to wait way longer than anticipated for the preferred way back to earth.
And I’d say that counts as stranded. I didn’t write the headline though, so…
