  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

One of the NASA astronauts trapped on the International Space Station said he believes Elon Musk’s claim that the Biden administration rejected the SpaceX CEO’s offer to help bring the team home.

Barry “Butch” Wilmore made the comment Tuesday during an in-orbit press conference with fellow castaway Sunita Williams nine months after their Boeing Starliner capsule malfunctioned and left the pair stuck on the ISS.

lol, if you listen to the actual response and not the retelling by rags like the NY Post or the clickbaity headline of the India Times, it's clear that the astronaut's response is so self-contradictory as to be nonsensical if taken literally. As noted by the body of the India Times article, in one breath, he says that it's "absolutely factual" and in the next says that they have no information about what was offered. He may believe Musk, but he doesn't know what went on. A charitable interpretation of his response is that he chose his words poorly. You can see the question and response at 18:36:
