US President Donald Trump has given a new mission to his close friend Elon Musk, whose name is frequently mentioned in the headlines of the world press. The richest man in the world has been tasked with rescuing two astronauts stranded in space. Announcing his decision in a social media post, Trump said, “Elon will be on his way soon. I hope everyone is safe. Good luck Elon!!!” The 53-year-old billionaire said he would bring the astronauts back “as soon as possible.” Two NASA astronauts have been stranded at the International Space Station since June 5, 2024.
“It’s terrible that the Biden administration left them there for so long,” Musk said. he used the expressions.
In this context, the Crew-10 mission will carry NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Takuya Onishi from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov to the station.
Following the handover process, Williams and Wilmore will return to Earth with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.
The duo’s visit was originally planned to last only eight days, but NASA decided to send the Boeing Starliner spacecraft back to Earth due to safety concerns.
The astronauts also said they didn’t expect to spend so much time in space, and that it was a bit of a shock for them.
However, despite all the setbacks, NASA isn’t giving up on Boeing; NASA Administrator Bill Nelson says he is “100 percent” confident Starliner will be used again.
