NASA, SpaceX launch capsule to bring home Starliner astronauts

NASA and SpaceX launched a spacecraft Saturday afternoon that will head to the International Space Station and bring two astronauts back to Earth in February.

The SpaceX Crew-9 Dragon took off with two empty seats and extra spacesuits for Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams, who have been in space since June. Wilmore and Williams performed the first crewed test flight of Boeing's Starliner and were supposed to be on the ISS for about a week.

Memorable because they left people in space.
The physics of space travel has not changed since the 60's and 70's so what is it?

The difference between generations –
There was a generation that saved humanity then came home to send people to the moon. There was no such thing as acceptable failure to them. They did not applaud and cheer when things went wrong. It was the Soviet Union that pretended something was not a failure or that it did not happen at all.

This generation, failure with phrases like unscheduled rapid disassembly to compensate for ineptitude is ok because at least you participated, and you are entitled to something. This is the same generation demanding communism in this country as they applaud and cheer total failure, then defend their own failure of character.

Then Generation – “Failure is not an option”
Today’s Generation – ‘We are not afraid of failure”
