    They were already scheduled to come home on the SpaceX Dragon launch in FebruaryEDIT: 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).

      SpaceX Dragon launch in February

      To clarify, the Dragon is scheduled to return in February. The Dragon launched back in September, and is currently docked to the ISS.

        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 — 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.

    NASA announced the mission to retrieve them in December.

    If anything, this really speaks volumes about Grandpa in the White House not knowing this already as it a pretty big deal on the news for about a month when we were all bashing Boeing. But some might have missed it under the Boeing assassinating people memes.

    But NAH grandpa, we already knew the schedule.

      not knowing this already

      He knows. His Trumpets don’t and will give him credit for that.

    How long until SpaceX technology is advanced enough to launch Elon into the sun?
