The Russian space program pretty much requires a functional level of

No, it didn't. Musk has a rocket and space capsule that can go to and
from the ISS, and Boeing's is close to being ready. In fact, Boeing's Starliner capsule is what *took* the two astronauts to the ISS.
The shuttle was obsolete, extremely dangerous and ruinously expensive.

Musk has also said that former president Joe Biden rejected
his offer to bring the astronauts home early because it
would've made Donald Trump and his supporters 'look good.'
. . .
Between de-Woking 'X' and throwing in with Trump, Joe's
people did everything they could to screw Musk. Even
cut him out of conferences about EVs.
And ALSO screwed those astronauts.
Freshly Ex NASA director Bill Nelson seems to doubt
that, but we'll see as more Biden docs come to light.
Astronaut Sunita Williams is concerning people, esp
her family, because she just hasn't looked very well
the past few months. Might just be 0-G effects, or
might not. SHE says she's OK.
Interesting thing Musk said ... that the DOJ actually
had a big lawsuit against SpaceX - FOR NOT HIRING
"ASYLUM-SEEKERS". How many OTHERS were likewise
pressured to suck-up to Joe's open-borders BS ???
THIS could be very interesting !

I agree. The design of the stack was a huge danger, one that ultimately resulted in the loss of two shuttles.
For _Challenger_: if the shuttle had been at the top of the stack, it
could have survived the explosion intact, separated, and glided
to a landing.
For _Columbia_: Tiles were damaged from chunks of the insulation of the
main tank hitting the shuttle. If it were at the top of the stack,
the tiles would not have been damaged. And once on-orbit, there was
nothing they could do to repair damaged tiles.
They don't build them like that anymore. Thankfully.
I don't trust Musk, but I do trust SpaceX and the people
in its employ. Just as long as Musk keeps his sticky paws off
the processes, SpaceX will succeed.

I agree completely. These various mishaps with rockets are
unfortunately part of the learning process and level set the truth
about the technology in that we have so much to learn.
When you think about it, the astronauts are literally strapped to a
gigantic bomb which in and of itself is super dangerous.
