They are not American only, what do you expect.
Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn't respond for a full minute and Trump was like "anyway you're the best" and they still didn't respond and Trump's people ended the call.
The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.
I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn't end in a question, and they didn't say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.
Luckiest folks in the human race. Furthest from Trump.
Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.
They could presumably be within 300 miles of him.
As of this writing they're still over 300,000 km away from the Earth. https://artemis.cdnspace.ca/
Doh they’re going to the moon! I was thinking the ISS.
I wouldn't have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they'll have to meet the president after they get back. It's not worth it.
totally worth it.
free ride to the moon and a chance to ~~kill~~ meet the most sadistic megalomaniac in history?
hell yeah, sign me the fuck up!
It ain't free. They're on the clock, they're being paid.
Even better!
Vic Mackey is so done with this shit.
"oh you're breaking up i think we're going through a tunnel"
After 30 seconds of akward silence they asked if the connection was okay, it was beautiful to see
Maybe they've got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.
"Wait I think there is someone outside the airlock, we will go and check!"
In space, no one can hear your cringe
... but we can see it.
The two on the left imagining just never going back to earth
Yeah the NASA twitch stream had to swap to emojis only.
I need a clip desperately of the chat

He's asking how young the girls in space are, and they're thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.
All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
That's literally the plot of The Shining. It's in Stanley Kubrick's hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.
Not a movie, but a music video for a great song
Such a banger song and video.
I enjoyed that, thanks!
I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.
The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible "meanings" and I think years to collapse was one.
They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn't many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.
They also have to manage it in a way as not to cause a panic because billions of people, will die. Because they literally cannot send everyone.
The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.
Dr. Stone technically counts
I.S.S. is based on that, there was a Cloverfield spin off that was pretty similar, too. I'm sure there are a bunch more, and I'd be interested to see them, too.

They are glad to have left the earth.
Am I gonna regret asking

Probably the best speech he's ever made tbh.
I think they were expecting more lol
The good part of the speech took about 60 seconds, FYI. (Way longer than in that video.)

Wow that was surprisingly... tame?
He knows they're way smarter than he is, so he ducked out fast.
The mission may be called Integrity, but this part was pure Endurance.
