12 August 2024 - astronaut rescue
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
journalist: How do you feel about the long delay before NASA can
rescue you from the space station?
astronaut: Rescue? Is orbit a place I need to be rescued from?
journalist: You're stuck there and can't get free. Don't you want
to go home?
astronaut: Look, if the ISS is a briar patch, then I'm Br'er Rabbit.
clue:
Journalists, or at least their editors, seem unable to resist
dramatization. Astronauts get to spend more time in space than planned?
They must be SO worried!
give me a clue so sweet and true
