    What’s he going to do, cancel their mission in space? The whole thing is programmed, they’ll just come home like always. Do you really think that if Trump screamed “I hate them! Leave them in space to die!” that the NASA operatives would just go along with it - “Sorry guys, the boss says No. It was nice knowing you?”

    Of course not. They would completely ignore that order, and bring them home anyway. And if somehow that wasn’t possible, we aren’t the only people in space. It would be a great propaganda coup for some other country to go up and rescue them instead.

      They had all the leverage in the world to put in some words againt their god-king but chose not to. Imagine Trump ordering the NASA to leave them stranded there because he didn’t like what they said, that would be something the eurogoons couldn’t even ignore and opens up the possibility that anyone else, let’s be real only China could, rescues them and scores a huge diplomatic win.

      Completely agree with what you said.
