Return of Sunita Williams: NASA’s astronauts dodged the political line, say ‘What Elon Musk says, it is absolutely factual, but …’. Mint

Elon Musk on Thursday reiterated her claim that her company SpaceX could send another dragon and brought back to the “stuck in the house” 6 months ago. But, he said, “Biden White House [not NASA] Refused to allow it. ,

Musk said in a post on X that US President Donald Trump “asked him to bring him back as soon as possible, and we are doing so.”

NASA’s astronaut Buch Wilmore reacted to bring back the “stranded astronauts” of Elon Musk back to Earth.

“… Mr. Musk says that it is absolutely factual,” Booch said, saying that he did not have a description of Musk’s “proposal”.

During a press conference on March 5, NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, Buch Willmore and Nick Heg were asked: “Elon Musk said he offered to bring it [astronauts] Back earlier and he was denied. is that true?”

Buch replied, “I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says is absolutely factual. We have no information on it, although whatever was offered, what was not offered, it was not offered, who was offered … the information that we don’t have. I do not know. I don’t know all the details.”

Politics on ‘stranded’ astronaut ‘return’

Buch Wilmore denied claims that politics “impressed the decision around their return from space” and said “politics is not playing at all.”

Buch Wilmore said on March 4, “We were ready to stay for a long time, even though we plan to stay less. That is what we do in human space flight. This is your country’s human space flight program, planning unknown, unexpected contingencies. And we did so.”

On the comments of Elon Musk and Trump that Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmor were “left” in the International Space Station (ISS) for “political reasons”, said, “Obviously, we have heard some of these various things that have been said.”

Buch said, “I can tell you in the beginning, all of us have great respect for Mr. Musk and obviously, honor and praise for our United States President Donald Trump,” said Buch.

He said, “We appreciated him, we appreciate all those who do for us … Politics, I mean, this is part of life. We understand. And an important reason we have a political system and political system that we have, and we are 100%behind it.”

“We know what we are here, we know Ins and the exterior and the nuances that they cannot be private and I am sure they have some issues that they are working with information that we are not private,” Booch said.

What did Trump and Musk claim?

In January, Donald Trump said he asked Elon Musk and Spacex to “go” two NASA astronauts, who were “left into space” at the international space station as soon as possible.

“I have just told Elon Musk and @Spacex to” get 2 brave astronauts “, who have been almost left in space by the biden administration. They have been waiting for several months at @Space station. Alone will soon be on their way. Hopefully, all will be safe. Good luck will be safe !!!

Elon Musk shared a screenshot of Donald Trump’s post and reacted with an 🫡 (saluting face emoji). Later, he posted, “@Potus has asked @Spacex to bring 2 astronauts trapped at @Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so. It is terrible that the Biden administration left them for so long.”

Two ‘stranded’ astronauts

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams and Buch Wilmor have already spent more than seven months in space, even though their mission was just about eight days.

His delayed return speculated that he was “stuck” or “trapped” in space. However, two astronauts and NASA have clarified the time and again that Buch and Sunita are not “trapped” or “stuck”, but are happy in space.

Wilmore told earlier CNN In an interview, “We don’t feel abandoned. We do not get stuck. We don’t feel stuck. I understand why other people can think so.”

The two astronauts are expected to return to Earth around 19 March.
