Stranded Astronauts Splash Down in the Gulf of America​

After eight months, our astronauts are back, thanks to a "mediocre white man" and his company, SpaceX.

Crew 10 Launch

Don’t they have a ship waiting somewhere nearby? They keep doing sweeps around the capsule and I don’t see anything on the horizon. They just called out for "capsule lift", so I guess they're getting a chopper ride to someplace else. Just saw a large landing pad nearby. Must be home.

Not a thread I normally follow. And by normally, I mean not at all.

It's amazing what Elon Musk has done in Space. Of course it isn't Elon so much as people he has working for him, but he picked them and guided them.
democrats want to stop sending money to Space X, but who else can save a crew, or put GPS satellites into space. ?

He's had a long strange path to get there. First he had to start PayPal and sell it, then he had to fund and guide Tesla to the point that he had the cash to start Spacex and then he had to get it to the point that they had a product to sell to get to the point that they'd let him go to the ISS. Along the way he put up a couple of satellites for some internet stuff.
