Trump and Musk doubles on the fake story of Starliner astronauts

President Donald Trump, and his best billionaire, Buddy Musk, continue to distribute screaming lies about the situation around the two Boeing Starliner astronauts, currently on board the ISS. In an interview with FOX News presenter Sean Haniti, the couple once again – often – said the two astronauts were stuck and needed to save and unjustifiably nailed the blame for former President Joe Biden.

In a Transcript From the interview posted on the White House website, Trump made some false statements about the ongoing situation. He has repeatedly told Musk that Spacex has a “ahead” to continue with a mission to return NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to Earth, saying that such a mission “did not have ahead with Biden.”

“He would leave him in space,” Trump added. “I think he would leave them in space.”

This, of course, is not true. In August, NASA announced they had a plan To bring Williams and Wilmore home with the SPACEX Crew-9 mission crew. This mission, launched on September 28, was initially to include four astronauts traveling to the ISS, but the list was cut into two to make room for Williams and Wilmore on the return.

This is where Trump and Musk’s plan comes. The CREW-9 had to leave the ISS later this month, but issued with the release of the next mission, Crew-10, forced Crew-9, along with Williams and Wilmore, to press their return in early April. By Trump’s orders, NASA stirred some spacecraft On Earth and four, they are now planned to return to Earth on March 19th. In short, their so -called “rescue” is really just an early return by a few weeks.

Musk told Haniti that Spacex “accelerates the return of astronauts” who were “left there for political reasons.” It seems that it is not clear on the exact timeline for the return of Starliner astronauts, saying “I think it’s about four weeks to return them.”

NASA’s leadership said the policy did not play a role in decision making when it came to Williams and Wilmore, pointing to safety as a major concern.

Both Musk and Trump have a share in the wrong presentation of the situation. Musk owns SpaceX, one of the main artists of the United States space trips and a direct competitor of Boeing. Trump, for his part, has repeatedly accused the predecessor Joe Biden, accusing him of abandoning astronauts. The president tried to throw himself as a hero, telling his social platform for the truth in late January that he told Musk to “go” to the couple.

Starliner’s mission was undoubtedly fiasco. After the launch of June 5, which was the first time the outfit version of Starliner flew to space, Wilmore and Williams were initially planned to spend only eight days on board the ISS, but obviously they were very, much longer in the end. This was because the problems arose with Starliner pushers during his approach to the space station, along with five leaks of helium. After numerous tests, the decision was eventually made to return the craft to the ground without anyone on board, because of safety concerns.

The capsule landed on September 7th, but its crew remained at the ISS, where as a bona fide NASA astronauts they are integrated into the crew’s duties (with Williams even determine a Cosmic transition In the process!). Along with the very public nature of the failure, Boeing has undergone other consequences. The Starliner project has been disturbed for years, suffering from expenditure and delays, as Boeing is struggling to compete with SpaceX in the commercial space of the crew. All said, the Starliner project has gone $ 2 billion above the budgetSince recent SEC submission. NASA has Frozen future missions Including the problem craft.

Musk companies should be noted at the end of the reception around $ 22 billion state contractsS Doge’s leader has been said Samopolis of any conflict of interestWhich is very soothing.
