      1. Annie Haslam: One of the greatest female vocalists, lead singer for Renaissance, one of the greatest classical music-rock fusion groups.

  1. If we are struggling with the smooth operation of the space station??.. Rescue mission after rescue mission?.. I’m not sold on a moon base.. Never mind mars..

    1. Why would any of this be a surprise? The IST is past its design lifetime. This is an old installation. It was intended to be supplied and sustained by the space shuttle. That died a decade ago. The station was intended for a 15-year lifetime. Its oldest modules are now over 20 years old.

      IST has done or exceeded what it was designed to do. So your statement has no basis in fact.

      1. A moon base would be around 1000 times farther away.
        A Mars base much farther yet.
        If you want anything that lasts, you need to make it outta steel, and a lot of it.
        We need reactors and smelters on the moon, or divert an iron asteroid into earth orbit, or mass-driver/catcher setups.

    2. I’m struggling with the idea of the point of a moon base. Or a Mars base, for that matter.

    1. You’re expecting a loose insulation tile will cause the return capsule to burn up on reentry? This isn’t DEI NASA making the equipment any more. This isn’t a bunch of DEI Muslims at NASA wringing their hands about global warming … and how there are “too many white faces in the control room”.

      Obama destroyed and redeployed NASA to be a shining beacon of DEI and CAGW. NASA has made itself irrelevant in the 21st century. Pretty much the same science incompetence of the NIH and CDC … hijacked by leftist orthodoxy

      1. Of course, I agree with you.
        Just when I think positive, don’t know why, things happen.

        1. Your position of cautious optimism is always the correct attitude. I’m just cheerleading for Musk in the face of the Terrorists who are trying to destroy him as he helps SAVE our nation from economic and bureaucratic disaster.

  2. Great story!
    Im sure if they didnt have security around the Space X launch pad, the deranged liberal lefties would have vanadalized the rocket because Elon is like “literally hitler.”

    1. Elon Musk certainly needs a larger Secret Service detail than Hunter Biden’s 18-person detachment following him around on his South African vacation … speaking of shocking realities.

  3. That thing is -small-! Holy crap that is small. Imagine being stuck in little spaces like that, for MONTHS, because the lame sons of beeotches at home can’t get their schlitz together and get you a ride home like they promised.

    And now imagine it was all because of -politics-.

    I think that would make a feller pretty cranky.

  4. Elon Musk told Joe Rogan the Space X rescue mission was delayed by the Biden administration for political purposes.

  5. They’ve had many decades to get the kinks worked out of the various issues with pretending to fly to “space”, though with advances in Hollywood trickery, the illusion is getting better all the time. Perhaps one day it will no longer be possible to see the fakery, and they won’t have to rely on terrible acting from Freemasons.

    But they’re still keeping with the tried and tested script. Acting joyful to get the audience emotionally invested (and putting the critical-thinking part of their brain to sleep), the women having their long hair hair-sprayed to “prove” a lack of gravity, despite the fact it should behave more like being underwater, and having strangers hugging and so on, as though it were all spontaneous.

    But like watching Star Trek as a child, and then seeing episodes later as an adult, the magic is lost and you wonder how you could have ever been captivated by such terrible acting and special effects.

    Let’s look back at “space” fakery, shall we?

    1. See my post about Kirk -vs- Gorn, above … space (that looks remarkably like Joshua Tree) and a rubber lizard suit! How can you call that fake and gay? Kirk has always been … ALL … man.
