Trump Slams Biden Over Stranded Astronauts, Musk Steps In to Bring Them Home

Washington D.C.: In a recent heated exchange, former President Donald Trump criticized the Biden administration for what he described as "abandoning" two American astronauts stranded on the International Space Station (ISS). The astronauts, Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita Williams, have been stuck in space since June 5, 2024, after a delay with their Boeing Starliner capsule prevented their return to Earth.

Trump's frustration was evident when he took to social media, urging SpaceX founder Elon Musk to take action. "The President has asked SpaceX to bring home the two astronauts stranded on the ISS as soon as possible. We will do so. Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long," Musk responded on X, expressing his commitment to bringing them home.

The situation, which has garnered attention from both political sides, highlights ongoing challenges in space missions and the reliance on private companies like SpaceX to ensure astronaut safety and timely returns. As the crisis unfolds, SpaceX’s involvement in the astronauts' rescue becomes an unexpected twist in the ongoing political debate.
