US President Donald Trump asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to follow the two astronauts “that the Biden administration abandoned in space”.
NASA astronauts Barry Willmore and Sunita Williams arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on June 6 last year. The mission was supposed to last a week, but nearly eight months later, Wilmore and Williams are still in space due to problems with Boeing’s Starliner capsule.
After launching from the Cape Canaveral Space Center in Florida, the spacecraft managed to dock with the ISS on a second attempt due to engine problems. In addition, the plane suffered a helium leak. Starliner returned to Earth unmanned in early September, landing in the New Mexico desert. NASA initially announced that the two astronauts would return to Earth in February this year, but recently there have been delays in the implementation of this plan.
Trump announced on his social network Truth Social. “I just asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to follow the two brave astronauts that the Biden administration practically abandoned in space.” They wait for months. Elon will be leaving soon. We hope all is safe. Good luck Elon!!!”
