Russian pensioners urge Vladimir Putin to rescue Starliner astronauts
"They don't know how to get back. We ask you to help them."
This was just dumb and conveniently ignores the rise of SpaceX. With its primary "broomstick," the Falcon 9 rocket, SpaceX has launched more than 80 missions so far in 2024. By contrast, the entirety of the Russian space enterprise has a total of nine orbital launches.
TBF, at this point Musk might as well be an extension of Putin.
8What does spaceX launching more rockets than the Russians have to do with Muskrat and Putin?
8Not my most elegant work, but the joke is that with Musk being so... Musky, anything SpaceX might do to help the astronauts or even the American space program in general might be plausibly claimed as a win by Putin.
