We live in exciting times when the President of the United States can ask his billionaire buddy to fly a private rocket into space and give two people a ride. Commenters agree.

Life,better than fiction. What a time to be alive.

Many posters say former President Joe Biden forgot about the two space travelers. Others say it was his pride.

Did Biden leave these astronauts up there for months just because he didn't to ask Musk to do it for NASA? Was Biden so petty he would abandon those brave people? They went up for an eight day mission IIRC.

They went up June 5, that was 238 days ago instead of 8 days!!!
