... but we can see it.
"oh you're breaking up i think we're going through a tunnel"
After 30 seconds of akward silence they asked if the connection was okay, it was beautiful to see

"Wait I think there is someone outside the airlock, we will go and check!"
Maybe they've got some Farscape episodes on their computers. Probably watching them enviously.
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.
Yes they were actually very polite, they knew they were speaking with a demented narcissist.
He's asking how young the girls in space are, and they're thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.
All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?
Dr. Stone technically counts
I have a book sort of like this. SevenEves by Niel Stephenson.
The book blows up (or gets hit or something). The dist will make earth uninhabitable within a few years. I want to say Seven Years. I remeber the SevenEves title has many possible "meanings" and I think years to collapse was one.
They basically work to get as many people as they can, which isn't many, into space working with the small crew of a (larger than ISS but not huge) space station. Including all of the logistics of food and housing.
They also have to manage it in a way as not to cause a panic because billions of people, will die. Because they literally cannot send everyone.
The first two thirds are pretty good, the lattwr third jump to the future and fallout and I hated that part, but the first part is good.

Yeah the NASA twitch stream had to swap to emojis only.
I wouldn't have gone to the moon if I were them. You know they'll have to meet the president after they get back. It's not worth it.
totally worth it.
free ride to the moon and a chance to ~~kill~~ meet the most sadistic megalomaniac in history?
hell yeah, sign me the fuck up!
It ain't free. They're on the clock, they're being paid.
Even better!

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.

Luckiest folks in the human race. Furthest from Trump.
Furthest from Trump and yet were told they needed to be on a direct call with him. Apparently even being in space isn’t enough.

The two on the left imagining just never going back to earth
We feel you mister astronaut. The entire planet is with you.
I would have been teary eyed too. Travelling as far as you can and still hear that asshole come out of the speakers. I would demand a refund.
The mission may be called Integrity, but this part was pure Endurance.

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'd like to commend Trump for lowering himself to talk to a woman and shudder A Black
He's not black, he's a "low IQ individual." That's the phrase he ALWAYS uses when referring to a black person.

Funnily enough. There's no woman nor person of color farther away from him than these two.
Lucky, lucky people
Am I gonna regret asking

Probably the best speech he's ever made tbh.
The good part of the speech took about 60 seconds, FYI. (Way longer than in that video.)

I want to see their faces when ICE fishes them out of the ocean ...
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.
