hi, you've just unlocked my hyperfixation topic, let me tell you all the ways you're being stupid about it
#micky speaks#this is specifically about that post about the boeing test pilots getting 'stranded' on the ISS#like first off did you really think there weren't meetings upon meetings upon meetings where one of the scenarios might be#'yeah you'll have to join the crew rotation for the next six months'#you think NASA and boeing didn't consider every possibility??? leaving them up there to join the crew rotation was the best/safest option#and ya know what? I hate elon musk as much as the next person but spacex has been how we primarily send people up to the ISS for a while no#because NASA doesn't have the program for that anymore! they have to fuckin outsource it to private companies or other countries#and ya know what? space flight is inherently dangerous#this was a new vehicle boeing was testing and the safest thing they could have done (and what they did) was send the capsule home remotely#you think these people don't know the risks??? you think their families don't know the risks???#like they aborted the initial test flight what two or three times because of issues because it's a new vehicle and they're TESTING#I'm just#Annoyed™
