A Russian spaceflyer was pulled from SpaceX’s next astronaut mission for violating U.S. national security regulations, according to a media report.
This morning, The Insider reported that Artemyev, 54, was apparently removed from Crew 12 for violations of ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations), a U.S. law that seeks to safeguard national security by restricting the dissemination of sensitive information and technology.
“The cosmonaut allegedly photographed SpaceX documentation and then ‘used his phone’ to export classified information,” The Insider wrote (in Russian; translation by Google), citing the work of launch analyst Gregory Trishkin.

The only way that username would check out is either if it was owned by a pushy and holier-than-thou social progressive with zero self-awareness, a conservative with a small world view that feels “owning the libs” is a personality trait, or a troll.
Now, considering your account was created on this platform two days ago, just called the resident population of Lemmy stupid, and drink whatever kool-aid Musk is selling, it’s a toss-up between the last two.

Much like Musk himself, it seems.
Being bright or not has nothing to do with it. Both intelligent people and less-intelligent people have excellent reasons to hate Musk.
Regardless of that, Falcon 9 is exceptionally reliable.

Ah, yes, the ol’ “can’t take a hint, must be everyone else that’s the problem” defense.
“Self” isn’t spelled “social”, FYI.
My point stands. Fuck off.
