They were never stranded, that's why anyone with half a brain isn't outraged.

Or maybe the astronauts, who themselves stated they weren't stranded, are big fat liars. Personally, I'll take them at their word.




Okay stranded might be the wrong phrase but not being able to get home for 9 months doesn’t seem like the right outcome for a 10 day itinerary to me. I’m glad everything is working out the end though.


They were able to get home, NASA just decided to move them into a standard rotation which the Astronauts were obviously okay with.


"not being able" is just another way of saying "stranded" again.

Please read up on the details of this adventure and you'll come to realize that whoever is putting this phrasing into the media is trying to lie to you!


It's a "holy shit, two cakes" situation. I don't think anyone who's devoted enough to being an astronaut to go through all it takes is going to mind more time in space doing space stuff.


I'm sure they appreciate the extra time in space, but remember they live human lives as well. They're both married, and Butch has two kids.


Anyone with half a brain would know just how dangerous this situation was, but you're just projecting.


How was the situation dangerous. Please explain.


bone density loss ? Permanent osteopenia ?
