Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, January 28, 2025

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. The two astronauts were supposed to spend eight days in space but their Boeing Starliner spacecraft experienced problems. The spacecraft returned to Earth last year without the astronauts but they regularly stay in touch with their home planet and often livestream with NASA. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams spoke to leaders of the space organization earlier this month about their time on the ISS and told them they "don't feel like outcasts". Suni added: "Eventually we wanna go home. We left our families a little while ago but we have a lot to do up here and we have to get that stuff done before we go."

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

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

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.
