Taking Up Space
Remember on June 5th, 2024 when astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams who went in a Boeing Starliner capsule from Cape Canaveral to the International Space Station on a planned eight day assignment, but due to technical issues the Starliner returned to earth unmanned? On the ground it appeared they had been forgotten. It was even reported that President Biden refused Elon Musk offer that SpaceX’s Dragon could “go and get them”. However NASA had decided to repurpose those astronauts to other tasks and experiments while working on a viable solution to enable their return.
It’s sad to say there was organized political turmoil going on after President Trump was inaugurated that centered around the work of DOGE headed by Elon Musk, under the direction of the president and in conjunction with congressional DOGE committees to identify and stamp out fraudulent government spending.
After more than 9 months in space it was SpaceX’s Dragon “Freedom” capsule went to the ISS and fetched Butch and Suni plus astronauts Takuya Onishi (Japan) and Kirill Peskov (Russia) back to earth. There was a tremendous sense of pride as we watched the four parachutes bring the “Freedom” capsule softly back to earth. Upon landing in the Gulf of America the astronauts were greeted by a school of dolphins as the world watched on live television.
One might even say the political turmoil was headed by congressional democrats, left leaning fake news outlets and dark money donors turning into domestic terrorism and violence aimed at Elon Musk’s electric car company TESLA dealerships across the nation.
Other violence has included plots and outspoken threats which in one case a teenager murdered his parents while conspiring with foreign actors to assassinate President Trump. Threats against Elon Musk and many of the Trump Administration officials have also surfaced.
In many Ivy League colleges and universities there have been demonstrations resulting in kidnappings, disruption of school classes and activities resulting in the cancelling of student visas of foreign students involved.
It wasn’t until this week when Amazon founder Jeff Bezos launched his Blue Origin rocket skyward with an all-female NS-31 “crew” (Lauren Sanchez, Katy Perry, Gayle King, Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe and Kerianne Flynn) climbing to a height of 62 miles above the earth lasting an amazing 10 minutes and 30 seconds, but for what purpose? They smiled, raised cutie keepsakes toward the camera and basked in the spotlight, yet the real purpose of the Bezos space flight may have been revealed during the livestream one crewmember said something to the effect: Look at us we’re “TAKING UP SPACE”.
That is the great irony of today’s Democratic Party. – RTM

A woke photo opportunity. Now these women think they are astronauts. Morons, all of them.
