I’m mostly curious how are they recovering the capsule. I didn’t see a crane or anything on the flattop deck.

Kind of mindblowing that this capsule was on the far side of the moon beaming video to earth 4 days ago and now the crew is bobbing in the Pacific because of phone issues.

LPDs have a well deck.. They can sink the deck, open the back doors, and float it on in.

ETA: By sink the deck I mean fill it with water. They can launch HCAC hovercraft and seadoos and whatnot from within the ship that way.

Since they have the US Navy, why couldn't they just pick it up by helicopter and fly it to the boat/SD?

Can I get betting odds on whether or not the porch gets inflated before sundown or not?

Hopefully they get something better than a buffet of McDonald's and Burger King when they go to the White House!


Word for word this is a huge talking point among white liberal men today.

There we go. I knew it had a well deck but I thought it was mostly to deploy hovercraft.

Didn’t realize they can sink the ship to flood it as well.

Except I meant it as a joke. They do not have a sense of humor and are idiots.

Going on 45 minutes of being a very expensive bobber.

Reid commented 2 hours ago about the sunrise over Western Australia. If they don't hurry this up he's going to be commenting about a sunset... while still in the capsule.

They have to be getting sea sick by now. Probably the worst part of this mission?

I've got a smoker which has a door that won't open when it cools off after being hot.
I have to warm it up again to open it.

Maybe they need some torches

Looking at where they landed, I know why it's taking them so long. They landed a few miles south of the border, so Border Patrol is having to scan the ship for illegals. That Canadian is fricked.

Location: Border Patrol aircraft at the landing site
