Just curious. Why didn't they come back earlier?

Turning 8 days into 9 months seems bad. Really really bad.



That's entirely immaterial to my comment. You can read the entire story in other locations. However, none of that changes the fact that my comment is accurate.


I read it, and it sounded more like an excuse. Astronauts could have come down anytime but for this weird reason they decided to hang out up there in an unplanned 8 month trip.

> my comment is accurate

Not really. You mentioned Musk stranded them after Jan 20.

They came down less than 2 months after that date. That seems fast for a space trip. Faster than the other 6 months...
