As federal employees what did they answer to their 5 question emails?
Just floated around a bit?
Astro nots!!! They are conning you. Never went into space.
And then people wonder why people are doing OFans 😂 it’s a shame legitimate careers like nursing, teaching and astronomy don’t pay off
Thank God you are safe
They deserve compensation, more than their annual salary, like $1,000,000 for being left up there
Astronauts should not be paid that low.
Not stranded, or at least they didn't have to be…
(And don't forget it's Boeing's fault.)
So they are potentially coming back to $100,000 with fame and noteriety? They will do well, interviews, books, appearances etc, they will be ok. Glad they are home safe and sound, a credit to the engineers.
Well they won’t have spent very much
How do you organise a party in space ? … you planet lol 😂❤
Welcome back. May your futures be great.
Still no idea what they were supposed to be doing "up there" in the first place, something to do with "hair science" maybe .. anyone know?
ELON MUSK is a National HERO and should receive the Congressional MEDAL of Honor for a CIVILIAN who fixed a major GOVERNMENT problem for FREE! For FREE! He saved their lives in space for FREE! NASA needs to be DEFUNDED since being PROVEN to be INCOMPETENT to fix their own problems which endangered these lives! Joe should be ASHAMED for yet another ABANDONMENT!
Theyre RICH
i will sue
I was saying they need pay for that time at least$1,000,000 each..let Joe pay them he left them to die
They were in a Hollywood studio. This is so fake. ISS supposed to travel at 17000 mph. A bullet travels at 1500 mph. They still haven't managed a photo of the earth.
Book and TV deals…
To strap in a rocket no thanks rather wrestle a Hyena
