I know they don't mention Trump but I guarantee he's involved somehow.
US, Russian astronauts make dangerous ballistic re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere after rocket fails
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin made a dramatic escape after their Soyuz booster rocket failed just two minutes after launch Thursday.
After blasting into the sky from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the crew was forced to make a dangerous “ballistic re-entry” into Earth’s atmosphere.
Ballistic re-entry uses atmospheric drag to slow the spacecraft and can expose crewmembers to G-forces 10 times great than those on Earth, according to New Scientist. Popular Mechanics describes ballistic re-entry as “steep and short” compared to the long, flat profile of a “controlled descent.”
