    Clear headline. 👍

    No “StUcK iN sPaCE.”

    It’s quite a thing that they are up there for so long “due to Boeing.” Though. But that’s some exhausted discourse. Whew.

      They are certainly there with no means to return until February, which they will do on a different company’s capsule, from a mission that was supposed to last 8 days and instead will last 8 months. That sounds like stuck to me.

      Whose fault is it, if not Boeing’s?

        Maybe I’m just a jelly earthbound dude but having my space trip extended from 8 days to 8 months? Fuck yeah. I would LOVE the chance to be in space long enough to get bored of being in space.

        Problems caused by being in space for too long? I’d be grateful to have them.

        Risk my life just to leave the atmosphere and possibly die in space because it’s hard at so damn dangerous to humans? Sign. Me. The. Fuck. Up.

        I’m sure they kiss their families but man am I envious.

            Haaa I hadn’t noticed but man I agree it’s better that way.

            I also love that people are down voting someone who’s is acknowledging the risks and problems and wanting what they are experiencing.

            I get that this situation isn’t what they were expecting, but I’d be stoked to be in it.

            Then again maybe it’s because I’m focused on the space part instead of shitting on Boeing and spacex

              Yeah, not sure why people are downvoting you for expressing an opinion which affects no one other than yourself. People are weird sometimes.
