#1 $5 A DAY, Per Diem?

HELL!
30 years ago, I was getting $50 a day for carrying a 24/7 pager.

Make Biden, his controllers and Boeing pay realistic per diem. They were the ones that stalled a known, safe, Non-Boeing viable rescue alternative.

All for political and Boeing $$$$ reasons.

#2 $5 A DAY, Per Diem?

What are they going to spend it on? It's not like you can nip out and get a Starbucks.

Salaried workers typically do not get overtime, but it seems like there should be some sort of mission pay. Unless NASA is prepared to argue that being stranded in space is part of the job description.

#3 The Lone Star Diner is in the neighborhood, but I would avoid the special.

#4 Active duty, our salaried employees. Yet we get sea pay, Sub pay, etc. astronauts in orbit should get something similar.
