SpaceX on the brain? NASA lusts after Elon's rides despite Boeing's readiness.
NASA libtards can't get it up on their own—surprise, surprise. SpaceX to the rescue, but don't get used to it, Space Cadets!

Libtard NASA Astronauts Stuck in Space, Voluntarily this Time
NASA astronauts Barry "Libtard Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, who went to space in June for what was supposed to be a week-long trip, might finally come back to Earth in February. That's right, they volunteered to go to space, but now they can't get back. Typical NASA incompetence these days.
The two astronauts went up in a Starliner capsule, which has apparently been a big ol' failure. So much so that they might have to come back in a SpaceX vehicle. Yeah, the same SpaceX that NASA snubbed for years while wasting taxpayer dollars on Boeing's piece of junk.
"I don't think we're too far away from making that call," Ken Bowersox, NASA's associate administrator for space operations, said Wednesday. "We know at some point we need to bring Butch and Suni home."
Well, duh. You think? These astronauts have been stuck up there for 60 days, and NASA just realized they might need to bring them back?
To make matters worse, the NASA clowns have delayed the SpaceX Crew-9 launch too. These people can't even launch a rocket without screwing something up. While they figure out their mess, America has to rely on the Russians for a ride. Ha! Serves them right.
The whole situation is just another example of big government failure. NASA wastes billions of dollars on contracts with incompetent companies like Boeing, and what do we get? Astronauts stranded in space and more delays. Meanwhile, SpaceX has been doing the job just fine.
Let's hope these astronauts finally make it back to solid ground, even if it's not in the junk-heap Starliner. And maybe, just maybe, NASA will learn its lesson and stop wasting our hard-earned tax dollars. Though, I'm not holding my breath.
