I watched the livestream of the conversation last night

the astronauts did talk to him and were respectful. there was an awkward silence for a couple of minutes but they, unfortunately, didn't "refuse to talk" to him

watch for yourself

The astronauts were talking before that dead air time.

I wonder what the Pedo Trump was doing during that silence. Was he falling asleep, dancing or just frozen. It's more about the weird silence. Pedo Trump always wants to talk. Many an interviewer has tried to shut him up.

It was just weird.
