    Every single shot or thumbnail I see of Victor Glover just looks like he’s tired of this shit and everything he’s putting up with.

        I will say I found plenty of pics of him seeming to enjoy himself when looking for the past ones I saw. The best one is probably this one

        ironically it’s from a video about how they’re returning home though lol

    They obviously talked about this in advance, and decided that they would let him talk, because they didn’t have a choice, but they wouldn’t engage. Answer his questions with as little as possible, and don’t ask anything back. Don’t give them anything he can use as propaganda, no kissing his ass, praising him for his great leadership in getting America back in space, etc.

    They were so committed to the bit, that when he ran out of steam, they just let him twist in the wind.

    Glorious.

    I would have been teary eyed too. Travelling as far as you can and still hear that asshole come out of the speakers. I would demand a refund.

    Also, Trump referring to Jeremy Hansen:

    And the 4 brave astronauts of Artemis II are our modern-day, you really are modern-day pioneers, all of you. And one of them happens to be a neighbor. You know who that is, right? You have a special person over there, a neighbor. And, uh, we like our neighbor.

    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.

      Yes they were actually very polite, they knew they were speaking with a demented narcissist.

      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”.

        That parts not that unusual. The really funny part to me is when they asked for a com check, Trump responded that he was still there. Usually when we ask for a com check someone says they can hear you, coms are fine, something like that. That’s my experience with it anyway.
