SpaceX Crew-8 exits Dragon capsule with assistance after splashdown

I fully expect and believe that if Elon had immigrated to Russia instead of the U.S. and started SpaceX there, in that alternate reality, this rescue flight still would have brought ALL the stranded people home to Earth safely. How on earth could any civilized rescue mission leave any scientists stranded due to their nationality? That isn’t even a consideration when talking about bringing these people home.
