Live: Starliner astronauts speak to press ahead of return
( NewsNation) — Starliner astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, along with astronaut Nick Hague, will speak to the media ahead of their scheduled return. Wilmore and Williams initially blasted off for what was expected to be a roughly two-week mission on the International Space Station.
NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore joined Crew-9 member Nick Hague from the ISS to talk Tuesday about their upcoming return to Earth.
Starliner commander Barry "Butch" Wilmore said Tuesday he did not think politics played any role in the crew's extended mission, but he did not directly address earlier comments by President Trump and Elon Musk that the crew had been "abandoned" in space by the Biden administration.
SpaceX's offer to bring back NASA's 'stranded' astronauts was rejected by the Biden administration as the situation was turned into a 'political football'.
Stranded Boeing Starliner astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore have been stuck in space for 264 days — on a trip that should have lasted about a week — but Williams’ mom says that the snafu was an honor and that her daughter is happy aboard the International Space Station.
The president and his right-hand man baselessly accused Joe Biden of stranding Boeing astronauts on the ISS for political reasons.
as NASA has long had a plan to bring the duo home — and it already involves SpaceX. On June 4 of last year, Williams and Wilmore launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on the first crewed flight test (CFT) of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
