Even ~~esteemed journalist~~ noted war criminal Eric Berger can't... even... right now: https://bsky.app/profile/sciguyspace.bsky.social/post/3lgtnrx6g422j

WTF, man.

Why did Elon Musk just say Trump wants to bring two stranded astronauts home?

An earlier return would make no sense whatsoever. The Crew-9 Dragon has already been sent up with two empty seats for Butch and Suni. They aren't stranded, and there is no need to come back any sooner than is scheduled.
