Fair use and a paywall for this article so here are a few key paragraphs though!
“To be clear, the NASA astronauts who launched into orbit aboard a Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft always had a ride home, so calling them “stranded” in space is a misnomer at best, if not a blatant disregard of fact.
The CEO of SpaceX—NASA’s top commercial contractor—knows this as much as anyone, but that did not stop nouveau politico Elon Musk from repeating the claim on his social media site X—and blaming the predecessor Joe Biden administration for the astronauts’ delayed homecoming.
President Donald Trump “has asked SpaceX to bring home the two astronauts stranded on the space station as soon as possible,” Musk wrote on Jan. 28. “We will do so. Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long.”
Musk’s comments followed remarks by Trump characterizing the upcoming return of NASA astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita Williams as a rescue mission that he personally entrusted to Musk.”
2 lying liars in the WH — what a treat…..
