Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

if it gets desperate theyll probably just do like that one west virginian town who begged for a bridge from the ussr to get the US to act, they'll send some desperate appeal to china who will start pretending like they'll devise a rescue mission which will get the US off its ass

It's literally illegal for Americans to ask China for co-operation in space related matters thanks to The Wolf Amendment and Russia due to sanctions. I don't believe other space faring nations have the capability right now, either.

Imagine even hinting at asking China for help and getting slapped with High Treason as soon as you land on Earth.

That and they'd probably slap tax evasion on top.

no they're going to die when the return vehicle hits the ground because their bones will be glass

NASA has learned that without Earth’s gravity affecting the human body, weight-bearing bones lose on average 1% to 1.5% of mineral density per month during spaceflight.

Ooooh, maybe they can drop the station on libertarian-approaching

Have a cool snappy line before impact

"Musky, We're home" or something like that
