"On the ground they interpreted it as a strike. But it wasn't intentional, it was our mistake. The media created this myth which has been floating around out there ever since and we've just had to live with it."
To Ed, the idea made no sense whatsoever. "What were we going to do? Threaten to live on the moon?"
We are going to leave the moon & make our own moon with blackjack & ~~planet-destroying~~ planetary unemployment rate lowering laser megaweapon!
(Also Ed will be chief space prostitute, it's his lifelong dream & want this to happen for him)
Seems like this story is BS. I can't speak to that but Scott Kelly fought with NASA management to lower the acceptable CO2 levels in the space station because it was making everyone sick and initially they refused to do it and he even had to consult with navy people on what acceptable CO2 levels they let in their submarines and finally NASA ended up matching theirs.
Imagine being in space and everyone around you is sick and you try to tell the group you have contact with in the vacuum of oblivion and they're just like "nuh uh"
"We are literally up here getting hypoxia."
"🙊,🙈"
What’s the opposite of a shitpost? ‘Cause this is it.
Qualityhole
My body consumes quality & turns it into shit - yes, this description checks out for me personally.
It's all bullshit. Bullshit makes for a shitpost by definition, no?
Bah, my fault for believing what I read on the internet. There was no strike.
Who would do that? Go in the internet and tell lies?
Dey show dem inyalowda who really in charge, sasa key

Can anyone provide context for the "they were never sent back into space" bit? I don't doubt for a second that this could/would happen, but I don't know enough about astronauts to know what's typical? Is this a very obvious outlier (i.e. other astronauts were nearly always sent on multiple missions)? Did any higher ups speak out against their actions? It's an interesting story.
I’m not familiar with the typical procedure for determining repeat missions either, but if I know anything about management and people in a position of power, it was likely a tantrum they threw after they realized they got bested by someone “beneath” them, and it was their way of coming out on top (at least in their minds) in the end.
“Oh yeah? Well, we’re not gonna allow you to fly into space again! 😤”
Like the time management “punished” me by moving my desk away from my coworkers when I stood up for a coworker’s opinion during a meeting that went against management opinion.
Oh no, you’re moving me somewhere where I’m not gonna be harassed and distracted by my coworkers 24/7?? I’ll get peace and quiet to focus on my work? What ever will I do!
It’s just something to get the upper hand to make them feel more in control. I’ve never seen more immaturity and sensitivity in people than I have with those in management and positions of authority (of course there are certainly exceptions, and there have been instances where I’ve had wonderful managers…but they are a rare breed indeed).
It may not be so much that they were bested by those they might consider beneath them - but the fact is that they made them look bad to their peers and potentially the public. They lost control of their lab rats and in a highly regimented environment like that it’s like a whistleblower at a government contractor. You know they’re gonna get fucked.
Unpopular opinion: the cost of keeping people up there is astronomically (pun intended) high, so it's only natural that they are expected to work way, way more than us here on the ground.
We may take a vacation and it's alright. They take a day off and burn hundreds of thousands of dollars as they do so. Their rest is paid by insane amounts of primarily taxpayer dollars. Their schedule must be packed, and only the individuals capable of sustaining such workloads in space conditions should go there in the first place.
After that, indeed, they deserve a very long vacation to restore.
