Doesn't Lockheed-Martin-Marietta make airplanes any more?
The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is an American family of single-seat, single-engine, stealth multirole combat aircraft designed for air superiority and strike missions; it also has electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Lockheed Martin is the prime F-35 contractor with principal partners Northrop Grumman and BAE Systems. The aircraft has three main variants: the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) F-35A, the short take-off and vertical-landing (STOVL) F-35B, and the carrier-based (CV/CATOBAR) F-35C

Wikipedia is showing the Crew-9 mission launch (in a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule) will take place on Saturday (Sept. 28th) at 17:17 UTC (1:17 pm EDT), assuming things went well with rolling the rocket back into the hanger until Hurricane Helene passed and then rolling the rocket back out to the launch pad. It will be launching with only two people, and once it docks at ISS there will again be an empty seat in docked capsules for everyone on ISS. Which is to say, Butch and Suni will finally have their ride back to Earth come Feb./March 2025.
Are they saying this "injury" happened during or immediately after reentry?
In a worst case scenario, a defect in the Space-X capsule would ground the entire U.S. manned mission to space.
Did the two month delay in returning contribute in any way to this injury?
Hiding behind HIPA is no excuse for taxpayer funded NASA to remain silent.

NASA astronaut remains in the hospital after returning from an extended stay in space
By Associated Press
Published Oct. 26, 2024, 2:47 a.m. ET
A NASA astronaut was taken to the hospital for an undisclosed medical issue after returning from a nearly eight-month space station stay extended by Boeing’s capsule trouble and Hurricane Milton, the space agency said Friday.
A SpaceX capsule carrying three Americans and one Russian parachuted before dawn into the Gulf of Mexico just off the Florida coast after undocking from the International Space Station mid-week.
The capsule was hoisted onto the recovery ship where the four astronauts had routine medical checks.
Soon after splashdown, a NASA astronaut had a “medical issue” and the crew was flown to a hospital in Pensacola, Florida, for additional evaluation “out of an abundance of caution” the space agency said in a statement.
The astronaut, who was not identified, was in stable condition and remained at the hospital as a “precautionary measure,” NASA said.
The other three astronauts were discharged and returned to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
It can take days or even weeks for astronauts to readjust to gravity after living in weightlessness for several months.
The astronauts should have been back two months ago. But their homecoming was stalled by problems with Boeing’s new Starliner astronaut capsule, which came back empty in September because of safety concerns. Then Hurricane Milton interfered, followed by another two weeks of high wind and rough seas.
SpaceX launched the four — NASA’s Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt and Jeanette Epps, and Russia’s Alexander Grebenkin — in March. Barratt, the only space veteran going into the mission, acknowledged the support teams back home that had “to replan, retool and kind of redo everything right along with us … and helped us to roll with all those punches.”
Their replacements are the two Starliner test pilots Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, whose own mission went from eight days to eight months, and two astronauts launched by SpaceX four weeks ago. Those four will remain up there until February.
The space station is now back to its normal crew size of seven — four Americans and three Russians — after months of overflow.

Just looking at gases up in the ionosphere (above 50km) ..... Notice Oxygen. It is a wonderful thing. It is our shield against excessive UV. Ozone is not what stops the UV as the global warming genocidal morons try to program into our minds. O2- normal diatomic oxygen blocks UV by absorbing it. That energy creates ozone- O3.
When you see jets flying high overhead... let's say 20,000 feet... that is roughly 4 miles or 6km. How much or the aluminum, barium, etc., get into the upper atmosphere? We know alot falls to the ground, but it is so fine that a significant part is bound to waft upward too. Chemically extracting the oxygen from the atmosphere seems like a concerted effort to destroy life on this earth.

How many more delays until they ever get back from their one week mission?
Notice that the Boeing Starliner, as an alternative, isn't even in the conversation any more? It's an all SpceX show for the foreseeable future.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s two stuck astronauts just got their space mission extended again. That means they won’t be back on Earth until spring, 10 months after rocketing into orbit on Boeing’s Starliner capsule.
NASA announced the latest delay in Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams’ homecoming on Tuesday.
The two test pilots planned on being away just a week or so when they blasted off June 5 on Boeing’s first astronaut flight to the International Space Station. Their mission grew from eight days to eight months after NASA decided to send the company’s problem-plagued Starliner capsule back empty in September.
Now the pair won’t return until the end of March or even April because of a delay in launching their replacements, according to NASA.
A fresh crew needs to launch before Wilmore and Williams can return and the next mission has been bumped more than a month, according to the space agency.
NASA’s next crew of four was supposed to launch in February, followed by Wilmore and Williams’ return home by the end of that month alongside two other astronauts. But SpaceX needs more time to prepare the brand new capsule for liftoff. That launch is now scheduled for no earlier than late March.
NASA said it considered using a different SpaceX capsule to fly up the replacement crew in order to keep the flights on schedule. But it decided the best option was to wait for the new capsule to transport the next crew.
NASA prefers to have overlapping crews at the space station for a smoother transition, according to officials.
Most space station missions last six months, with a few reaching a full year.

They have been back for at least a month. Elon rescued them.
My post is about the stranded Boeing Starliner crew which have been on the ISS since summer.

Nope, SpaceX just sent the next crew with only 2 members and the 2 stranded astronauts became members of that crew rotation. This extended their mission until early next year.
How much of this is because of Biden Admin. incompetence, treason, corruption, or other dark and nefarious workings? NOTHING Biden and his EVIL cabal touch is safe. That the helpless, the hopeless, and the innocent would be at the mercy of a world gone wrong, is beyond comprehension.
Soon, Mankind must stand against EVIL, in whatever guise it chooses to manifest itself. On that fateful day, where will you all be? Ready to stand and deliver? Or, worse, ready to bow to EVIL, and be forever chained to the bonds of slavery?
I fear that many, who’ve never faced EVIL, will not choose wisely.
Before it’s too late, choose you this day, and prepare to fight unto death, for the right and responsibility of upholding what Life, Liberty, and Your Sacred Honor Demand- and do not falter…

This could turn into a new version of the Minnow. Instead of Gilligans Island it’s the Space Station. First season is already written.
These are not all of the ISS-related missions I have on my watch list, but several manned and cargo missions to ISS have slipped in their planned launch dates (in most cases by about a month). This is from checking on their launch dates last week and checking again this week. One wonders just why so many recent relatively abrupt changes in so many launches to ISS? I'm not saying it's aliens ... but it's probably aliens!

Were I an astronaut - I would think SERIOUSLY about being put in a position of "unable to help one's self."
Space flight in a capsule is like that. They don't steer, they are reliant upon the government for their food, their water, even the very air they breath.
And there is no way out.
Earthbound explorers of the past were never like this. They may go out looking to "conquer the unknown" - but they always had the "human escape" to rely on.

Dobbin, such criteria would place today’s astronauts in the position of Gus Grissom’s “SPAM in a can.” Oh. That’s where they are now- if in a NASA space program…Were I an astronaut - I would think SERIOUSLY about being put in a position of "unable to help one's self."
