The article is so small relative to how huge this news actually is.. They were only supposed to be there no more than 10 days.. 9 months they were stranded.
It's wild how nobody seems to be outraged by that.

- deadlydose 2y agoThey were never stranded, that's why anyone with half a brain isn't outraged. Or maybe the astronauts, who themselves stated they weren't stranded, are big fat liars. Personally, I'll take them at their word.
- bilekas 2y agoOkay stranded might be the wrong phrase but not being able to get home for 9 months doesn’t seem like the right outcome for a 10 day itinerary to me. I’m glad everything is working out the end though.
- Kye 2y agoIt's a "holy shit, two cakes" situation. I don't think anyone who's devoted enough to being an astronaut to go through all it takes is going to mind more time in space doing space stuff.
- itishappy 2y agoI'm sure they appreciate the extra time in space, but remember they live human lives as well. They're both married, and Butch has two kids.
- ChocolateGod 2y agoThey were able to get home, NASA just decided to move them into a standard rotation which the Astronauts were obviously okay with.
- heliodor 2y ago"not being able" is just another way of saying "stranded" again. Please read up on the details of this adventure and you'll come to realize that whoever is putting this phrasing into the media is trying to lie to you!
- kittikitti 2y agoAnyone with half a brain would know just how dangerous this situation was, but you're just projecting.
- outer_web 2y agoOf all the things to be outraged about you choose two astronauts spending more time in space out an abundance of caution for the safety of their return flight? Empathy, sure. Outrage? Lol.
