Must be anticipating the inevitable release of these pictures by foreign agents that have gained access to these since Musky’s Douche team fucked up and opened a backdoor.

Bold of you to assume the backdoor was a mistake.

I tend to give folks the benefit of the doubt but yeah, KGB asset Cheeto dick Dump and his Apartheid apologist opened it wide open.

Launched 10 September 2024 as the 14th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, Isaacman and his crew of three — Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon — flew in an elliptic orbit that took them 1,400 kilometers (870 mi) away from Earth, the farthest anyone has been since NASA's Apollo program.

Thanks for the correction. 🙂
