if this happened to the USSR at any point or to China we’d never hear the end about it
If this happened under Trump, we’d have never heard the end of it.
Fuck, it’s still weird that it hasn’t been the main story (pre-:luigi-dance:, of course). If this happened 10 years ago, FOX News would have had a great big ticker under every segment that said WEEKS:DAYS:HOURS:MIN:SEC that OBAMNA has left Our astronauts STRANDED!!!
something similar happened in the USSR, but only due to its collapse. The story of Sergei Krikalev is a very sad one and an inspiration for a lot of sovietwave/doomer art. he went into space a cosmonaut for the greatest country on earth, but it collapsed while he was up there.
since the whole collapse was so devastating it took a bit of time before the Russian Federation was even able to organize a rescue. he was supposed to only be in space 100 days but it was extended to 311 days.
exactly, would be used as a definitive proof that the system is collapsing
