Man, I'd sure hate to be in those two stranded astronauts' shoes!
Because they would have had to take the risk and come back in their leaky original vessel that made it home successfully?
Not sure if I prefer a leaky vessel or to depend on the whims of an orange turd and an insufferable man child. Maybe the leaky ship would've been safer.
Starship has nothing to do with the ISS crew. They're coming back on the extremely reliable Dragon capsule that's already up there.
The "rescue" mission already launched and docked during the Biden Administration.
Get out of here with your facts and objective reasoning! You're supposed to say Fuck Elon
Both awful choices none of the astronauts should have to deal with.
To be fairer with the initial faulty ship, I'd say the difference in weight might have changed the odds of success.
