A NASA astronaut stuck aboard the International Space Station (ISS) has confirmed that Elon Musk was telling the truth when he said the Biden administration refused SpaceX’s offer to bring the stranded crew home, as reported by The New York Post.
Barry “Butch” Wilmore, one of the two astronauts left in limbo after their Boeing Starliner capsule failed, backed Musk’s claim during a press conference from orbit on Tuesday.
Wilmore and his fellow astronaut, Sunita Williams, have been stuck on the ISS for nine months due to the botched mission.
The discussion turned political when a reporter asked Wilmore about Musk’s assertion that Joe Biden deliberately stalled the rescue mission for “political reasons.”
Initially, Wilmore dismissed the idea that politics played a role in the delay. However, when pressed further, his response suggested otherwise.
“I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual … I believe him,” Wilmore stated, making it clear that he trusts the SpaceX founder’s word over the Biden administration’s narrative.
SpaceX had already sent a Crew Dragon capsule to the ISS last September, which could have facilitated Wilmore and Williams’ return. Yet, despite the spacecraft being in place, NASA—under the Biden administration’s oversight—chose to delay bringing them home.
