Musk and Trump just repeated inaccurate claims of 'stranded' Starliner astronauts. NASA and the astronauts don't agree

68% Informative
President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk continue to push the "stranded astronaut" narrative.
Trump and Musk agreed with that framing, doubling down on an unsupported narrative about NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore's mission.
NASA has long had a plan to bring the duo home — and it involves SpaceX.
Neither he nor Musk offered any evidence to support this claim of political interference.
Crew-10 is now scheduled to lift off no earlier than March 12 , which would likely put the departure of Crew-9 , with Williams and Wilmore on board, sometime in late March or early April .
NASA 's crew rotations aboard the space station generally exist outside the whims of political influence.
The space agency and the astronauts know this, and have pushed back against the "stranded" narrative.
