NASA astronauts who have been on the International Space Station since June 2024 are still in high spirits despite not being able to return to Earth.

Bringing forward the return of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams would leave just a single astronaut operating the US portion of the International Space Station.

Elon Musk has more important priorities now. Like turning America into a fascist country.

In understand multitasking is hard for you and DialAgain. But Elon isn't going up in space to LITERALLY rescue astronauts Biden left in space.

What thew ---- are astronauts doing in space to begin with? Shameful.

These astronauts need to high tail it back to the office as remote work has been cancelled, per OPM direction.

Cut-off their funding and they have to return. My uncle was a professor at MIT.

Somewhere deep down, they're perfectly happy avoiding all the craziness on earth.

It's not even deep down, they are quite content. If you were an astronaut where would you rather be... on the ground waiting to go to space, or in space?

It's mot like there is any life threatening race against time here.

All that time in orbit, yet not one image of a UFO. How interesting.

I bet! Outside of only packing for a short while and staying for a long while, I bet there aren't too many complaints.

I wonder whether the government employee-astronauts have to file their timesheets and do their taxes while deployed.

Trump will either want to tariff Space or just nuke it like hurricanes.

Maybe he can use a sharpie to draw an extension of earth on the globe and just say they are home now?

The current plan to bring the astronauts back was put in place during the Biden admin. It's doubtful that Trump stealing the credit will bring them back any sooner.

WoW! Lucky them!
