Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They should get unlimited money for purchasing things and a book deal upon return.
If we didn't live in the dumbest timeline possible, our International Space Station would be one of greatest achievements we would all celebrate and take it seriously. The ISS deserves better.
The ISS is a giant disappointment, but I always take comfort that the first person in space, Yuri Gagrin, was born on a collective farm. The first person up there was a worker, and that means the universe to me
Hell yeah! It's wonderful to know that a worker went to the stars and saw how united we should all be. It's such a shame the "Space age" and all its wonder was wasted on Cold War bullshit.
We've successfully launched the international space station! (Whites only)
You'll never guess what the SS in ISS stands for.
Hmm, I hadn't even thought about their compensation. How are they paid anyway? Is it an annual salary or contractual pay per mission? I wonder if all of this counts as overtime.
After returning would they bother to buy one book at a discounted price, if they had unlimited money to purchase things?
