I want to see their faces when ICE fishes them out of the ocean …
We feel you mister astronaut. The entire planet is with you.
They are not American only, what do you expect.
you mean not US-American.
Yeah, sorry. “Not from the US”. In Spanish I’d say “estadounidense”, but there’s no such word in english sadly. USian isn’t a word lol.
Also technically isn’t Mexico also USM the same way US is USA? Not my fault they decide to call themselves the continent and no one stopped it. 😅
It is United Mexican States so it would be UMS
not the point
Yeah I understand, but I was trying (and apparently failing) to emphasize that Trump’s speech was not here or there in such an international team, which is in part why the reaction is as it was.
Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn’t respond for a full minute and Trump was like “anyway you’re the best” and they still didn’t respond and Trump’s people ended the call.
The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.
I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn’t end in a question, and they didn’t say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.
Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied “I am, yes, I am”.
Luckiest folks in the human race. Furthest from Trump.
Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.

They could presumably be within 300 miles of him.
I wouldn’t have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they’ll have to meet the president after they get back. It’s not worth it.
I’m not sure if “have to” is true. I’m sure they could refuse. The consequences might include not being an astronaut, but that’s probably the same as your option.
I would have stayed in moon orbit.
totally worth it.
free ride to the moon and a chance to
killmeet the most sadistic megalomaniac in history?hell yeah, sign me the fuck up!
I like the way you think lol
It ain’t free. They’re on the clock, they’re being paid.
Even better!
“oh you’re breaking up i think we’re going through a tunnel”
After 30 seconds of akward silence they asked if the connection was okay, it was beautiful to see
“Wait I think there is someone outside the airlock, we will go and check!”
Maybe they’ve got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.
In space, no one can hear your cringe
… but we can see it.
The two on the left imagining just never going back to earth
Yeah the NASA twitch stream had to swap to emojis only.
You can say an awful lot with emojis. Is there a transcript somewhere?
Brand new sentence
I need a clip desperately of the chat

Vic Mackey is so done with this shit.
He’s asking how young the girls in space are, and they’re thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.
All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
That’s literally the plot of The Shining. It’s in Stanley Kubrick’s hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.
Not a movie, but a music video for a great song
Such a banger song and video.
I enjoyed that, thanks!
Dr. Stone technically counts
I.S.S. is based on that, there was a Cloverfield spin off that was pretty similar, too. I’m sure there are a bunch more, and I’d be interested to see them, too.
“DEFCON-4” leaps to mind (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087130/).
Am I gonna regret asking

Probably the best speech he’s ever made tbh.
The good part of the speech took about 60 seconds, FYI. (Way longer than in that video.)

Wow that was surprisingly… tame?
He knows they’re way smarter than he is, so he ducked out fast.
I think they were expecting more lol
They are glad to have left the earth.
The mission may be called Integrity, but this part was pure Endurance.
Underrated comment lol
Correction: The mission is called Artemis 2. Integrity is the callsign the Orion capsule was given by its crew.
