You mean like they said yesterday they had to pivot. They weren’t going anywhere so they continued their job. Duped was reading a spin by the The Guardian to save liberal face. Their mission was extended beyond the date with the previous administration not taking Musk up on the offer to go get them. You can call it what you want, dates don’t lie of when they were supposed to come home originally. If we discussing duped, the message you responded to was for those liberals who hoped the ending was a catastrophe.

lol did you read it? He is playing semantics here. Under this reasoning Gilligan wasn't stuck on the island, he was eventually able to leave and they were able to be productive while there.


“So in certain respects we were stuck, in certain respects, maybe we were stranded, but based on how they were couching this, that we were left and forgotten in orbit, we were nowhere near any of that at all.

“Stuck? OK, we didn’t get to come home the way we planned. But in the big scheme of things, we weren’t stuck. We planned and trained. Let me comment back on this other [claim], you know, ‘They failed you’. Who? Who’s they?”

Since I have followed Space news since I was a kid. We're they stranded? Technically no, however they couldn't leave. The Crew Dragon on orbit was for Crew 9 if they used it to return then Crew 9 would be stuck without a way home.

Elon/SpaceX offered to launch a Crew Dragon (uncrewed) to bring them home so they wouldn't have to wait and the Biden Administration refused to allow it.

It became political for the left to not have them picked up close to the election.

They were testing passenger drones at our local airport several years ago so I'm not sure we're really behind. I would imagine the regulation in the US is much more strict

Having been in many taxis and car services in China, I might take my chances with a drone.
