NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are waiting for their new ride back to Earth via SpaceX’s Crew Dragon this spring.

The president and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk are falsely blaming Biden for the situation, ignoring an existing plan that's been in place since last year.

NASA appears to be retaining existing plans to return astronauts from the International Space Station after calls to bring them back “as soon as possible.”

NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore launched aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft in June 2024 for what was initially an eight-day mission. Due to propulsion system issues, NASA deemed Starliner unsafe for their return and reassigned them to SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission in September.

SpaceX is scheduled to bring home two astronauts who have been on the International Space Station since June. Mr. Musk said President Trump had asked for that to occur “as soon as possible.”

While Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore’s situation is unusual, their return trip will be pretty routine, as they were already slated to fly home on a SpaceX capsule as part of a scheduled crew rotation.
