And so, the Starliner saga comes to a close. Welcome home, Crew-9!
Thank you for stating facts. I'm at a complete loss over on Threads, Twitter, and Facebook for how to combat the scale of misinformation and Musk-worship. In my 7 years of fighting mis and disinformation, I have never seen anything at the level this has become.
