Imagine signing up for a quick one-week trip… only to find yourself stranded for eight months. That’s exactly what happened to NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stuck aboard the International Space Station since June due to technical issues with Boeing’s Starliner capsule.
Well, Donald Trump isn’t having it. On Tuesday, he announced that he’s calling in the big guns—SpaceX CEO Elon Musk—to bring them home. In a fiery social media post, Trump blamed the Biden administration for “abandoning” the astronauts, declaring:
“I have just asked Elon Musk and @SpaceX to ‘go get’ the 2 brave astronauts who have been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden Administration. Elon will soon be on his way. Hopefully, all will be safe. Good luck Elon!!!”
Musk didn’t waste any time responding, promising to “bring them home as soon as possible.” But here’s the catch: before Wilmore and Williams can return, SpaceX has to send a fresh crew up to the ISS first—a launch that has been delayed.
With Trump’s public push and Musk’s commitment, will the rescue mission finally take off? Buckle up, because this space saga just got political. 🌎🚀
