Context, the astronauts weren't abandoned, they tested the Boeing Starliner capsule and for safety reasons the capsule returned without the crew as it presented issues like helium leaks. As result of this the mission was extended and the SpaceX crew 9 mission was launched in September last year with only 2 astronauts so the other two from Starliner could return on it once their mission ended. Events like this have happened before with Roscosmos Soyuz launch delays and re-scheduling.
Anyway, this whole thing is incredibly stupid !spacechads !ifrickinglovescience !engineering
Dane here (as is Mogensen).
You know, SpaceX was the main reason why I started liking Elon. I followed SpaceX from the beginning, and thought it was exciting and refreshing. Watching Falcon Heavy's first launch literally made me tear up in joy, it was so amazing. After that, my fascination with SpaceX and space travel almost became an obsession, it gave me hope for the future, something to unite humanity.
I became what most people would define as an Elon Stan.
I staunchly supported everything Elon touched, and whenever a friend or family member told me he wasn't as fantastic as I made him out to be, I got angry.
As time passed, I started reaching the point where the signs were too big to ignore, too many, to obvious, that Elon was indeed what people had tried to tell me for so long - a power hungry butthole who don't give two shits about anything besides his own wealth and power.
I guess it happened around when he bought twitter.
Now, I don't find any nerdy joy in watching Starship fly, because it will only make him richer and more powerful.
I'm sorry to say this - Frick Elon.
I genuinely hopes he has a fallout with Trump and Trump takes everything away from him.
