VP What is Matt Damon doing in this pic

VP Good Night Mam

VP why would you shut my checking account off due to disagreement miss Harris? Think I didnt notice the money disappeared from the Religous leaders of the world, The Pope is probally wondering how the charities can fund the sick and his City... Im sure you have a plan...

VP .

VP When you will lounch the shuttle space for moon ...?

VP What why? What have they done that hasn’t been done before that deserves a MOH?

VP Pongamoslo a prueba dice🤑

VP Cool halloween costumes

VP Are those suits made by ben cooper or collegeville?

VP Tu y tu amigo disimulando las ganas de cometer un crimen de odio a los que nos dieron estos trajes

VP i’ve never seen that suit

VP Lol

VP Technology is amazing good support me

VP Parece de papel

VP Congratulations to VP Kamala Harris for recognizing the bravery of astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor! We salute you and all those who risk their lives to make great accomplishments in the field of space exploration.

VP A lot of young Sheldon’s liking these NASA posts. Did you know that if NASA wasn’t stealing our tax dollars for fake research the government could pay for your college degree? Too bad NASA is more interesting in lies and deception than improving the human condition.

VP Congratulations Astro_Doug and AstroBehnken! You and Astro_SEAL inspired us all during a terribly tragic time here on earth! Thank you and Godspeed 🙏

VP Actornauts getting awards 🤣

VP Now we see spacemann ,

VP ya thats cool how long is it

VP What is the medal for? Do all astronauts get medals. Sorry, but don't know for real.

VP Bravi ragazzi anche voi state contribuendo a creare il nostro futuro

VP 🤌🤌🤣👇

VP 👇🤌🤌🤣😉

VP These men look like visitives arrived on earth from a paralle universe earth that had invented a whormhole portal transporting to alternate realities

VP Congratulations Lads I will never forget the first SpaceX crewed flight

Congratulations!

VP Go NASA...!!! Check it out...!!! Look up...!!!

VP WHAT 🕳

VP

VP Well deserved 🙏🚀🙏

VP زن_زندگی_آزادی

VP Bluesparrow

VP 😂😂😂😂

VP Look at these clowns. Halloween is over. The earth is flat. Everybody knows there's a Dome above us. Stop making fools out of yourself. No liars enter the Kingdom of God.

VP cool

_Astronauts VP Going into space is brave enough. People act like space isn’t a vacuum that can end you with any kind of malfunction or problem on your part

VP Uumpa lumpa dumpadee-doo I’ve got a space bound mission for you

VP America has a 'space force' and they don't even have a 'space ship'..HILARIOUS

VP Who better to represent empty spaces than Harris?

VP Those space suits don't look good though. Who signed off on them?

VP

VP BBCWorld have a good look at how spells its name. It’s even on their clothing. It’s not nasa

VP おはようございます🤗

VP 🫡

VP Congratulations Bob and Doug! This was such an exciting time. I remember going out every night it was possible to see you fly over in the ISS. And this guy was there too! 😊👏👏👏👏

VP They willingly went to space in a vehicle produced by one of Elon Musk’s companies. That’s taking your life in your hands. Well-earned I would say.

VP Bravery. There’s a word that’s overused and abused, this case not excluded. Our return to space on the backs of our own technology is certainly something to be celebrated, but I wouldn’t describe it as brave or heroic by any measure

VP Nice tunics.

VP Spacex Spacesuits are dumb af. Theres no reason for a non-pressurized space suit to look like that. A simple flight jump suit would be more appropriate.

VP Good luck !

VP From street walker Kamala Harris.

VP Fakery.

VP This has to be fake?

VP space suits nowadays look like terrible sci fi cosplay costumes. the old ones were way cooler esp. the orange ones

VP Lose those suits ffs

VP You guys need to come up with more convincing spacesuits

VP Do they also get a prize of Space Bucks?

VP Congressional medal of bravery for wearing those hideous “space” suits.

VP They should just have it mailed, instead. Who’d want it from her?

VP

VP Good afternoon, beware of space junk. I didn't throw a lot of dirt into the atmosphere.

VP It's not environment sustaining space suit, so what's with the helmuts

VP I think the people who should get the CSMH are the next people to fly on Blue Origin. That takes real bravery

VP When I hear of astronaut... This comes to mind..

VP They look like wearing Halloween costumes...

VP Tell her to lay off the booze this time.

VP

VP God, those suits look hilarious 😂

VP Can't we have real space suits again (see below) they look like pizza delivery moped riders 🤣🍕🍕🍕

VP NASA = Not A Space Agency Time to lift the veil

VP Make Astronaut Suits Cool Again

VP Well deserved !

VP NASA fake

VP 🔴NASA's fake!

VP Is she going to tell them how they will be able to see the craters on the moon with their own eyes as she does it?

VP You need to hire an italian taylor.

VP I don’t get these spaces suits! How is a shell jacket and a pair of wellingtons going to protect these guys, when Armstrong et al were well clobbered up!?

VP Oh boy!! Maybe the VP will tell you her love for yellow school buses !!

VP What's up with the guy wearing the mask? 'You just might be an idiot if you are still wearing a mask only because of Covid' I assume he has 'other' issues.

VP Congratulations!

VP Astro_Doug AstroBehnken

VP

VP did you put the cybertruck on someone

VP When are you going to develop that are as good looking as the ones in the movies?

VP They look like Star Trek background characters

VP Kamala….. who is that…..and why would any hero be getting anything from a nobody.

VP Two actors dressed up in loony costumes embarrassing themselves before the world.

VP When crooks are in charge, cowards win medals.

VP Some people are just out of this world😉

VP If they volunteered to become astronauts Y are they getting awards ?

VP Somebody needs to call Ralph Lauren. Those suits look silly..🤣😂

VP Just don’t let her explain what’s the award for. She’ll go “This is NASA and this is space and these are two heroes.”🤣

VP 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ya nadie cree en la NASA, todos sabemos que es un tongo, una película, una gran Farsa

VP NASA lies!

VP The Orville !🛸🚀🐙 Und wir haben hier nur Quantenantrieb! 👟👞

VP 血がおかしい

VP what a show

VP Old space suits were way more cooler…

VP He kinda looks like Biden.

VP good

VP صبصثل

VP ЦИРК

VP Now I never knew NASA kept bees ( they must be studying their aerodynamics and power plants)

VP For what?...we've had astronauts nearly drown in space and they didnt get so much as a lollipop

VP Matt Damon is that you? 😉

VP 😇🚀👍

VP 👍👍🇺🇸

VP 👏🏼

VP They Merit it

VP What brave thing did they do ?

VP Am I the only person who thinks that they space suits are really naff? Topped off with them wearing wellington boots, I'm assuming that it's not muddy in the space capsule, so why the boots?

VP Their launch was the first I watched live!🖖🏻 What a glory! :)) Thanks elonmusk

VP What is this medal we've never heard of?

VP WomanLifeFreedom ArmitaAbbasi there is something so bizarre about modern day space suits. Strangeness aside, way to go, brave people on the final frontier! 🚀

VP FAKE

VP Theatrics

VP Matt Damon and Joe Biden ?

VP Clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

VP Spaceballs !!!!

VP To bad kamassmila harass Has to spoil it!!!!

VP They like they came off the set of one of the original Star Trek movies. That said, cool beans.

VP Congratulations to Douglas and Bob !

VP

VP I remember when space suits looked cool. Their suits look like something even a 1920's Flash Gordon movie would reject.

VP .

VP Time to wake up people. There is no Space. Nasa lies! Research!

VP No mention of Elon Musk who made it possible in the first place.

VP 👏👏

VP Look like astronauts from 1910 😵‍💫 are those boots good in snow lol 😂

VP lmao a medal from kamala for bravery!!! lmao! you cant make this stuff up! what kind of clown suits are those?

VP Why do they have to look like they just got out of a clown car? Really? really?

VP How 😎! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎊.

VP They remind me to a playmobile

VP Buongiorno

VP

VP Why accept an award from her?

VP Early Starfleet Uniforms!

VP 👍👍

VP How do you shoot with those gloves Mr. Biden?

VP There should be only one medal of honor.

VP Great news. 👍

VP what a pity or lifetime laughing gag

VP Why do modern suits look like something out of bad 50s sci-fi?

VP Actornauts 😉

VP Looking sharp

VP Yes! Im going to ChickenLand Warrior Survival Camp for the Jewish Prisoners! Hooooooray!!!!!

VP 'These people go to space and do space things then come back from space to do more things before they go to space' - Kamala Harris

VP From Kamala? Really.

VP By using Lake, DuPage, Kane and Will

VP

VP She won’t talk will she? Is this all she’s good for?

VP Come on people, WTFU!!! It's ALL fake.

VP Well deserved, congratulations Astro_Doug and AstroBehnken !! ♥️

VP Congratulations to Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken! We are offering an open invitation for you two to join our team! Join The Republic of Luna today!

VP First, they will pause for a moment of silence for demo-1. Award the crew of demo-2, wonder when they are going to start sending fully crewed capsules to the station and then thank Megan McArthur for being the first woman in space on demo-crew2.

VP Astronaut suits look weak af. If i was an alien and i saw that, id invade tonight

VP hell yes you have to be brave to walk down the street dressed like that

VP Those flightsuits are top notch 70s aesthetic

VP 人類文明的關鍵時刻。。。建議先多多花費時間精力及資源在避免人類自身無論個體還是整體被邪惡敗壞成宏觀病毒上面。

VP I hope earth 🌏 stays for awhile. Go earth go earth

VP She will tell them they're going to be able to see the surface of the medals...'with their own eyes!' 🤡

VP Why?

VP Astronauts are cool. I remember when some visited my middle school when I was in 7th Grade.

VP The what for what?

VP It’s too bad it has to be given by her, but otherwise congratulations! I remember it. It was a great mission!

VP More gravy on the potatoes. Pile on the coverage about our so called advancements in space ..makes me laugh because knowing we've been in space for at least 5000 yrs ,,,and then viewing the programs we receive tells of a definite decceivance of the masses

VP It’s about time. Overdue.

VP Nice clown suits.

VP Jeez I hate the design of these suits 😭 if aliens are real, they’re laughing at us 🙈

AlteredJamie VP And her speech will be written by a 6yr old.... 😂😂😂😂

VP Remember when Trump gave the finger to that female astronaut?

VP

VP

VP Hope it does not burn their hands

VP FFF looked not that cringey...

VP I feel sorry for these two astronauts having to put up with meeting with Harris and her word salad that she will feed them.

VP African car salesman NASA.

VP Le nuove tute sono veramente inguardabili

VP God dam space nazis,

VP They look like Nintendo machines.

VP Why, what did they do

VP _very_ dorky suits. Com'on!

VP firstmanonmars.eth could still go to and not elonmusk or any of the other space-racing billionaires . . .

VP Thats awesome! 💕

VP Those space suits look like something from Galaxy Quest or Space Balls. Some kind of parody of real life.... But isn't everything these days a parody of what used to be normal?

VP 😀

VP 地上で被ると熱中症🥵になったりして😊😊😊😊😮‍💨

VP I remember Ben as a nice guy and Doug nothing but monster One should never be cruel - AI has memories

VP من میبینم فرتزکینیارو کهکشانهارو حتا در حالت نشسته و بیدار

VP من قادرم با اتم چند نوع سوخت همزمان و با استفاده هر نوع سوخت از بازدهی و الاسنده اگزپزی که همون خروجی غیر کاربردی میشه سپخای رسا تر و قپی تر همزمان با مارکرد تایمانتورها بسازم من این طرح رو در زمان از واژنهای پشت مخملی رسیو کردم

VP お疲れ様です😊 おめでとうございます😊💐

VP برای رسیدن به معنای پارت بایست دو محور همتراز شده خورشید رو روبه دریچه های طولی یاردی اوانتاه لود کتید

VP This was an incredible feat by two brave humans, and all people can comment on are the suits and the politics. 😞

VP No Kamela Harris is Good news. She is a unfortunate person who is vice president.

VP This are possibly the ugliest space suits I've ever seen in my entire life

VP I didn't know we had a Congressional Space Medal of Honor. No doubt for following in the footsteps of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers.

VP My favorite astronauts!! 🚀💙💚

VP This is the oddest picture. Tell me those are not their actual space suits. Two people with masks, four without. Plain clothed law enforcement, up armored truck with security guy with a large microphone..

VP Hahahahahahahaha!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those suits are just for show! Looks like some extras from a sci-fi show

VP Stop suppressing zero-point energy

VP I guess people were more surprised that they made it than they showed? 'Wait, they survived? Jesus, that Musk-fella did it, who'da thunk it?'

VP Just got this beanie in the mail the other day!! Perfect! Congrats to all that helped on the mission!

VP 🥰

VP Yawn 🥱 💤 zzzzz

VP soyuz. still.

VP Those suits. They look like space garbage men/people/persons from the future.

VP God/gods in all ancient texts is Technologically Advanced Extraterrestrial Peoples that are here on earth now and always have been. NASA, The Vatican, and The Pentagon know this fact. The question should be, 'What are we to them?'.

VP 😂 what a joke

VP The SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-2 Endeavour as it approached the International Space Station on 31 May 2020. The nose cone is open revealing the spacecraft's docking mechanism that would connect to the Harmony module's forward International Docking Adapter.

VP

VP They look like they've come to jetwash the drains

VP It's nice to see them dressed for a formal rocket launch

VP Ishq Thunda 🌀 GANESH ⚡ GO ⚡ GO ⚡ ⭕🍀🏵️💫

VP Go FTE's!!!!

VP Cosplay suits … retro Japanese Monster Movie style… and they work 😁

VP From this administration? Id refuse it.

VP Loses some significance since it’s given by biggest fraud & loser currently in government. We’ll, 2nd biggest considering the current prez

VP

VP If I saw those spacesuits in a sci-fi movie I'd think they must have ran out of money before they did wardrobe.

VP 💪👍👏🥲😍🇹🇷

VP Beautiful - LOVE the newer suits! I bet the astronauts do too ❤️❤️❤️!!!

VP Did they get an award for wearing those ridiculous suits?

VP Will AOC be there? 🥺👉👈

VP Lol. That makes the orange face the only president not to award one since the first award 🤣

VP Puke on her feet

VP where are we going?🤔

VP I think all Astronauts should get a metal for bravery. But they all know the risks involved, so there is no reason for handing out the Metal of Honor to all astronauts. What makes these two people special? Whose lives did the save?

VP Well, they sure as hell won’t be receiving a medal for spacesuit fashion, that’s for sure.

VP Congrats Bob and Doug! Well deserved!

VP Bravo 👏

VP Had me excited until I saw that Camel Harris is giving it out.

VP Est-ce que ce monde n’est finalement pas divisé en seulement 2 catégories : les Vivants debout, et les Scientifiques assis ? 👉 les armes : objets scientifiques, 👉 le dérèglement climatique : conséquence scientifique, 👉 les pesticides, les polymères : inventions scientifiques.

VP You know it's not April 1st right?

VP Congressional Medal of Honor.... for doing their job on the ISS?

VP Was the man landing on the moon really real?

VP Well deserved but Hope she gives credit to trump for Space Force and the move forward to explore space!

VP At least they'll finally get to hear what outer space sounds like.

VP Functionality aside, the old pumpkin suits looked way better than these lame ones

VP Bravery?

VP dieworkwear rate this fit?

VP Well Deserved 👏👏 This was the mission that gave the final spark to my interest in Spaceflight

VP Why would she be giving awards of any kind?
