It's OK for Elon to use that word. He's just reclaiming it for his people.

Don't Americans idolise their astronauts anymore? I thought they were seen as heroes, even by the MAGAs?

He's Danish.

So I guess it's just some Greenland hate.

Ha, fair enough. I should have read it properly.

We also idolize our military people, and Trump shits on them all the time and for some reason seems to get away with it.

wait, they were supposed to be brought back this month at the latest, are there further delays??

They're returning next month on Crew-9, which I think has been the plan since September.

There was a slight delay from the original plan because the Dragon for the replacement crew wasn’t ready on time.

So, the blame is on the company that manufacturers and operates the Dragons. Maybe Musk should call them out...

I find it interesting that he signed himself off as "Idiot".

Everytime I see Musk I wonder how your face can be come that deformed without having some kind of accident. Probably fucked up plastic surgery?

  1. We should not be calling anyone that word, it's an ableist slur.
  2. Andreas is not American, he's a Danish ESA astronaut who has been working as a liaison between ESA and NASA for the last decade.

Well we came up with 'MERICUHHH to not call 'em that directly.

I prefer calling them and Israelis monsters, but even that would be putting it nicely.
