Suni Williams was on the ISS when SpaceX docked for the first time with Cargo Dragon. I that flight they sent some ice cream to Suni and her crewmates on the ISS. I hope this flight has some ice cream, in memory of Suni being there when SpaceX first docked with ISS. I also recall David Penit(sp) was there, I forgot if he is there now though.

Elon Musk? Pretty hard to criticise a man willingly willing to rescue NASA astronauts when 2 other big space aeronautical companies were not.

Well, the two that had stayed behind still could've went, just would've had to've been a one way ticket LmMFaO

NOT A RESCUE MISSION. This mission is just a "happen to have". The "stuck crew" can still de-orbit on a Russian Soyuz craft! They have options.
