Also docked to the space station is SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule that ferried four astronauts to the ISS in March, and a Russian Soyuz capsule that delivered three others in September. Stich acknowledged that at least one of those vehicles could provide an alternative ride home for Wilmore and Williams.

I wonder at what point the astronauts are just gonna be like "fuck it let's roll the dice in your faulty spaceship" because the alternative is dying in space

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 42 points 4 months ago

The alternative is not dying in space, it's riding down on a Russian craft.

ISS thankfully can house non Boeing spacecraft so they’ll be fine. The ISS should ban Boeing imo otherwise it’ll end up like the scene from Interstellar when the spacecraft explodes.

Gravity was so good, still annoys me "power of love" interstellar overshadowed it

I liked the part where George Clooney mansplains the survival solution to Sandra Bullock who then gives him the credit despite Clooney being dead for the last hour and a half of the film.

I didn't really interpret it like that, but sure
