'Left In Space For Political Reasons...' Musk and Trump Blame Biden For US Astronauts Being Stranded

Elon Musk has claimed that NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams were left on the International Space Station for political reasons following delays in their return. The pair arrived aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule in June but have remained there far beyond their intended eight-day mission. Former US President Donald Trump alleged that President Joe Biden intended to leave them in space to avoid publicity. However, the astronauts rejected claims that they were stranded or abandoned. NASA plans to bring them back in March after the arrival of the Crew-10 mission. Meanwhile Trump announced that Musk would be barred from space-related government decisions due to potential conflicts of interest. n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
