For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

MODERATORS
Yes they could go back to Earth in case of an emergency and would have to take the other passengers with them prior to the end of their missions. They couldn’t not return to Earth simply because they decided they wanted to go back.
It’s great they didn’t feel stranded though, makes it less unpleasant to pass time while being stranded there.
They were not "passing the time" (more than people on ISS always are... 🤡).
The decision was made in August that they would join the Expedition 71/72 crew.
As a result, Stephanie Wilson and Zena Cardman did not get to fly on Crew-9.
It would have been prior to the end of their own missions as well, since they became members of Expedition 72.
Do you think astronauts ever go to space with the expectation that they can "return to Earth simply because they decided they wanted to go back"? 😂
