• Remember they threw a massive parade for John Glenn.

HEADLINE: NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams return to Earth after 9 months stuck in space by Marcia Dunn

• The expected to be gone just a week or so after launching on Boeing’s new Starliner crew capsule on June 5. So many problems cropped up on the way to the space station that NASA eventually sent Starliner back empty and transferred the test pilots to SpaceX, pushing their homecoming into February. Then SpaceX capsule issues added another month’s delay.
• Wilmore and Williams’ plight captured the world’s attention, giving new meaning to the phrase “stuck at work” and turning “Butch and Suni” into household names. While other astronauts had logged longer spaceflights over the decades, none had to deal with so much uncertainty or see the length of their mission expand by so much.
• America was saved a massive embarrassment by Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
• Why isn’t there a parade for Elon?
• Why isn’t he considered an American hero?!

• Who helped launch this electric car company to begin with?
• Previously, oh about 10 months ago Tesla the company and the owner Elon was the star of the left and the Democrat party.
• You now have people so upset about what Elon is doing w/ DOGE they are setting Teslas on fire.
• They are vandalizing car dealerships and firing into the buildings.
• Tesla employs 10,000+ people and the same w/ X.
• You have these companies making things and they are on the cutting edge out there and the left is intentionally trying to ruin him and his companies.
• Again, why isn’t he a hero?
• Elon is on TV now just in complete astonishment that a political party has officially targeted an American citizen.
• I think they knew they are about to lose all the power they illicitly gained and they are willing to kill people over it.
