    Only by trump and musk. The astronaut’s statements are all over the place:

    Did politics influence NASA’s decision for you to stay longer in space?

    Wilmore: From my standpoint, politics is not playing into this at all. From our standpoint, I think that they would agree, we came up prepared to stay long, even though we plan to stay short. That’s what we do in human spaceflight. That’s what your nation’s human space flight program is all about, planning for unknown, unexpected contingencies. And we did that, and that’s why we flowed right into Crew 9, into Expedition 72 as we did. And it was somewhat of a seamless transition, because we had planned ahead for it, and we were prepared.

    Elon Musk said he made an offer to bring Butch and Suni home last year, but it was denied by the White House. Is this true?

    Wilmore: I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual. We have no information on that, though, whatsoever; what was offered, what was not offered; who it was offered to, how that process went. That’s information that we simply don’t have. So I believe him. I don’t know all those details, and I don’t think any of us really can give you the answer that maybe that you would be hoping for.

    One of astronauts said they dont think its politized at all, that just how things are. Then seconds later said Musk saying it was politcal is absolutely correct, but also they had no information at all proving that.









  • Your wiki link doesn’t list fentanyl in that section:

    In March 2013, the site had 10,000 products for sale by vendors, 70% of which were drugs.[19][79] Drugs were grouped under the headings stimulants, psychedelics, prescription, precursors, other, opioids, ecstasy, dissociatives, and steroids/PEDs.[15][14][80][81] Fake driver’s licenses were also offered for sale.[82] The site’s terms of service prohibited the sale of certain items. When the Silk Road marketplace first began, the creator and administrators instituted terms of service that prohibited the sale of anything whose purpose was to “harm or defraud”.[14][83] This included child pornography, stolen credit cards, assassinations, and weapons of any type.

    The bans look pretty explicit, and fentanyl isn’t one of them. Fentanyl is a wildly powerful opioid, which silk road seemed glad to sell. The site specifically allowed the sale of thousands of opiates of varying potency.

    Your second link discusses how known fentanyl sellers were traced to silk road drug sellers bitcoin wallets:

    This is likely not a new trend, and numerous vendors possibly also deal with other drug substances alongside fentanyl. Vendor clusters with Bitcoin payments to fentanyl suppliers have also been identified interacting with dark web marketplaces that have since gone offline, such as Silk Road and Hydra.

    These links dont support that fentanyl was directly banned on Silk road. They actually show that fentanyl was likely commonly sold on Silk road in one form or another.
