We've learned the hard way that the people we were told knew everything are, in reality, mostly politically-driven puppets, taking orders from those with more power. Most of these organizations and companies that are floundering have one thing in common: they've embraced the left's failed progressive and woke culture.

Companies like NASA and Boeing have bought into DEI hiring practices, tossing excellence aside in favor of charity-driven hires who don't have a clue what they're doing.

NASA has decided the lives of two astronauts stuck at the International Space Station will be in SpaceX's hands after weeks of intense deliberation and serious safety concerns.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson made the announcement during a press conference on Saturday at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The two astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, have been on the ISS for 11 weeks. Their mission was originally supposed to last eight days.

The ordeal began when five of Starliner's 28 reaction control system thrusters failed as it traveled to the ISS in June. The spacecraft's helium system was also leaking.

Mission controllers have been working to resolve the issues and test the spacecraft ever since in the hopes they — and not someone else — could safely bring the astronauts home.

NASA leadership held an internal meeting earlier today to review whether Williams and Wilmore could safely return to Earth on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft or if they should rely on SpaceX's Crew Dragon instead.

"I want you to know that Boeing has worked very hard with NASA to get the necessary data to make this decision," Nelson said. "We want to further understand the root causes and understand the design improvements so that the Boeing Starliner will serve as an important part of our assured crew access to the ISS."
