    Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn’t respond for a full minute and Trump was like “anyway you’re the best” and they still didn’t respond and Trump’s people ended the call.

    The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.

      I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn’t end in a question, and they didn’t say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.

        Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied “I am, yes, I am”.

    They obviously talked about this in advance, and decided that they would let him talk, because they didn’t have a choice, but they wouldn’t engage. Answer his questions with as little as possible, and don’t ask anything back. Don’t give them anything he can use as propaganda, no kissing his ass, praising him for his great leadership in getting America back in space, etc.

    They were so committed to the bit, that when he ran out of steam, they just let him twist in the wind.

    Glorious.

      I’m not sure if “have to” is true. I’m sure they could refuse. The consequences might include not being an astronaut, but that’s probably the same as your option.

      The mental image of one if them dancing into the whitehouse like a Ghanaian palbearer just to flip everyone off and say ‘I don’t give a fuck what you creepy old paedos have to say. I went to the fucking moon,’ is immensely entertaining.

        They left LEO a while ago. But, point taken. Kinda funny that they could be “technically” closer to him than someone across the country.

    Also, Trump referring to Jeremy Hansen:

    And the 4 brave astronauts of Artemis II are our modern-day, you really are modern-day pioneers, all of you. And one of them happens to be a neighbor. You know who that is, right? You have a special person over there, a neighbor. And, uh, we like our neighbor.

        The paranormal community at large has been treating UFOs and aliens as transdimensional entities indistinguishable from historical and biblical demons for a long time now, including Djinn, fae, elves, earth spirits, and ghosts.

        'Demon’s the way they use it are ones who reveal themselves, as opposed to those who hide in the shadows. Demon - strate, demonstrate themselves.
