NASA astronaut Nick Hague, who was already aboard the ISS, gave the incoming crew an extraterrestrial welcome by donning an alien mask for their arrival.

      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

                    You’ve no place bringing up civility when you are using alts to post in instances you were banned from, Monk.

                    I’m not banned from here and I’m not Monk. You’re obsessed with that theory. lol

                    If you want to keep lemmy great, maybe stay out of places you’ve been asked not to come back to.

                    I’ve never been asked not to come back.

                    And if you want to make a big deal of this, maybe the admins might want to look deeper into who you are and what you’re doing here.

                    So exactly what is you think I’m “doing here”? Please tell me what you think this grand conspiracy is. And yeah, let the admins go as deep as they want. Your baseless accusations have already been removed from other communities.

                    What is this grand conspiracy that you think is going on?

                    I just looked and Monk actually has a username on this instance, so he isn’t even banned on this instance!! So what are you even talking about ban evasion here?! He hasn’t been banned. And I haven’t either.

                    You keep acting like the guy is gone or something. He (or she) still posts everywhere.

                    I don’t know anything about him, other than the fact that you keep calling me him.

                    Also, I have never done anything bannable.

                    Please tell me what I have posted or commented that is bannable.

                    Your false accusation and obsession is bordering on being unhealthy. Just block Monk if you hate him so much. Or block me if you think I’m him or whatever your conspiracy thing is. It’s weird.

      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…
