They were already scheduled to come home on the SpaceX Dragon ~~launch in February~~EDIT: that launched in September, has been attached to the space station for months, and has always been scheduled to return in February (thanks u/threelonmusketeers).
Ok, so he is just stealing credit.
Classic Trump. It's actually something Democrats could learn from as far as communications go.
Really? The left could learn some "communication skills" from the right β taking credit for things they didn't do is not one.
If they took credit for the shit they did do, they wouldn't leave themselves open to Republicans doing it.
So your solution is to somehow communicate facts to a cult who doublethink's their way through everything based on team sports, is enveloped by a right wing propaganda machine facilitated by big tech and MSM billionaires, and otherwise chooses to inject disinformation directly into their brainstem?
Bold move cotton. Stupid, and useless... But certainly bold.
To clarify, the Dragon is scheduled to return in February. The Dragon launched back in September, and is currently docked to the ISS.
Why the delay then?
Because that's NASA's schedule.
It's probably returning with things like waste and science results as well as the two astronauts.
Crew rotations are usually 6 months. Starliner launched while 4 Dragon-launched astronauts were already on ISS. The next Dragon for a 6 month mission launched with 2 astronauts, leaving 2 seats for the Starliner crew to return on.
Thank you for the important correction!
