SpaceX Successfully Launches Relief Mission for Boeing Starliner Crew
Americans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Wilmore and Williams, and prayers are being said their safe return.
I have been following the adventures of the Boeing Starliner crew, whose 8-day mission morphed into a 10-month stay.
In my last report, the SpaceX Crew-10 mission earlier this week was scrubbed due to a hydraulics issue with the transporter-erector, the structure that hauls the Falcon 9 to the pad and supports it once it’s there.
I am now happy to report that the rescheduled launch was successful, and relief is now on the way to astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.
The Starliner sagais one step closer to its end with the launch Friday night of a SpaceX vehicle that will relieve the astronauts who months ago flew to orbit aboard the now-infamous Boeing spacecraft.
A mission known as Crew-10 is on its way to the International Space Station, where for the past 10 months NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have unexpectedly found themselves stationed for an extended stay.
Wilmore and Williams, of course, were catapulted into the public eye back in June when the Starliner vehicle they piloted to the space station encountered a series of issues that ended with the spacecraft leaving them behind.
The Crew-10 vehicle should be landing at the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, and if the ‘luck of the Irish’ holds, the two Starliner crew members will be back on Earth mid-next week.

Once there, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore will finally be able to return to Earth at some point on or shortly after March 19.
The pair have been stranded in orbit since June 5, with SpaceX owner Elon Musk and many others claiming Williams and Wilmore were left on the ISS for political reasons.
The duo were initially scheduled for an eight day mission.
…Crew-10 includes NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Japan’s Takuya Onishi, and Russia’s Kirill Peskov.
Alongside Williams and Wilmore, NASA’s Nick Hague and Russia’s Aleksandr Gorbunov will be returning home on board SpaceX’s Crew-9 Dragon capsule that is already docked at the ISS.
Have a great time in space, y’all!

Many Americans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Wilmore and Williams, and prayers are being said for their safe return.
God, please keep the @SpaceX Space Station crew safe, and deliver them to the station, and bring the stranded pair home.
This is such a miracle.
And the first stage just PARKED ITSELF AT KENNEDY.
Lord. SO amazing. Brings tears.
God bless them all

CREW-10: SpaceX Launch Prayer- Dear Saint Christopher, protect them today in all their travels along the road’s way. Give them warning signs if danger is near so that they may stop while the path is clear. Be at their side and direct them through when the vision blurs from out of… pic.twitter.com/TVNZb5Vbvj

I will simply note a successful launch on “Pi Day” seems fitting.

It was spectacular!!!🚀
Biden literally abandoned these 2 astronauts
Nary a word from the “media”
Was Biden even aware that they were stranded?
Yes.
Is it confirmed that Biden scratched a rescue mission because it would have shown him up politically?
I imagine each of those stranded astronauts will have some health issues when they reach home. I can’t imagine.
I can imagine, there will be health issues, a shortened life span, and no more missions for these two astronauts.
Confirmed: Abandoning people in space is a policy decision.
I say we send some Boeing Execs and board members up there and let them think about what they’ve done to the company. We can bring them back down in a year or two… or better yet they can take their fat golden parachutes and pay their own way down.
Susan Doniz—- the woke ass Kamala Harris sister from a different mother (you can tell by listening to her speak) who was Boing CIO is now at Disney.
I guess Disney hasn’t lost enough money nor credibility yet.
Back in the day, members of the company building a submarine would ride the boat during shakedown and sea trials. That would give them incentive to make sure the submarine was built correctly, especially after the Thresher disaster.
I remember the Threasher.
On the nightly news, in glorious black and white.
I would think that both of those Astronauts are thrilled that they got to spend almost a year in space.
In an entire career as an astronaut, they would never get to spend that much time in orbit.
Leftist/Dhimmi-crat media is totally downplaying/ignoring the heroic nature of this operation, because SpaceX/Musk are involved.
These reprobates are pure evil.
This is probably how Wilmore and Williams feel right now:

I wondered how they voted last Nov.?
It’s late but I stayed up to watch. Dragon just successfully docked with the ISS. Great job, great footage.
