Original Story
Crew-10 has launched. They are on their way to pick up the stranded astronauts who have been stuck on the space station for nine months when they were supposed to be there for eight days. They were stuck there because Joe Biden wouldn’t let SpaceX pick them up after Boeing failed.

I was at the KSC and watched the launch on 5 June last year from visitors’ paddock. During countdown over the loudspeaker (male voice)there was a loud “EMERGENCY DETECTED” announcement(female voice) and it was ignored. Launch went ahead anyways. There were several delays of that launch due to “weather”, on that slightly cloudy but sunny 5 Juni day. That launch obviously was a mandatory DEI launch, two retirees, one appeared to resemble the former VP’s ethnicity. It was all for show. When it took so long to dock at the ISS, I watched it live on the KSC feed, I was horrified I was going to witness a disaster. All ignored by Auto-Pen or whoever was running the nation at the time. The accountings of the Auto-Pen regime are numerous with justice never being meted out to any of them. (I have it all video-audio time stamped recorded btw along with a hundred other people recording it (but not noticing the EMERGENCY DETECTED announcement blaring away and brazenly ignored).
They should have sent the whole Biden crime family and left them there forever.
This will be another major PR victory for Trump. Imagine those people visiting the Oval Office.
As a youngster I used to watch sci-fi movies. Many would show a rocket landing upright and I always thought it was next to impossible to accomplish. In one series, Men in Space, landed many rockets on the moon. That series was coordinated with the Air Force and considered the most accurate depiction at the time. Until Musk came on the scene I never expected a rocket to land upright.
