    Didn’t SpaceX not have any rockets that could carry astronauts under Biden? Maybe I have a faulty memory, but I’m pretty sure they didn’t gain that capability in a week.

      Nah they probably could have put something together to get them down by now if they really wanted to but there’s been no reason to. They just baked the two starliner passengers into the normal crew rotation and called it a day. They have actual literal seats on a crew dragon that’s currently docked on the ISS and are scheduled to depart the station in March.
