NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore remain stranded in space due to delays with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, which had been scheduled to return them to Earth in early September. Compounding the issue, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has come under criticism by astronauts for alleging that the reason for the delay was political, specifically accusing the Biden administration of abandoning NASA personnel in space. During a joint interview with Donald Trump on Fox News, Musk claimed the delay was politically motivated. However, this assertion has been deemed unfounded by both astronauts and NASA officials, who argue that technical and safety concerns are the primary reasons behind the postponed Starliner mission. The statements from Musk have sparked controversy, with some labeling his remarks as politically charged and misleading. The situation continues to evolve as Boeing and NASA work on resolving the technical issues to ensure the safe return of Williams and Wilmore.
