Can someone explain what's the point of them staying up for many months beyond the original mission? If Musk offered to bring them down, why wasn't the offer accepted? Not that they need "rescuing", but still.

Keep risk low.

What risk? Why would it have been riskier than any other regular mission to the ISS?

they opted to do some research. then when they were rescheduled to come back there was a problem with the dragon capsule so it got delayed again.

Why is Elon Musk spreading lies about the rescue mission of the 2 astronauts stranded on the ISS?

How is this helping the Space industry, disrespecting astronauts in this manner?

EDIT: HN seems to replace X archive links with twitter.com - here is the tweet in question: https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/1892584783064052114#m

Remember when he called the hero that rescued the young men in the Thai cave a pedo: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50667553 or https://www.wsj.com/articles/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-lashes-out-... ?

Both episodes seem similar.

Yes he doesn't like it when people mess with his reality distortion field and will act out in a petulant manner.

what's even worse is all the sycophants lining up to support him.
