Elon Musk alleged that Joe Biden’s administration rejected SpaceX’s offer to bring back Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore earlier, calling it a “political” decision. The astronauts, initially set for an 8-day mission in June 2024, remained on the ISS for over 9 months due to issues with Boeing’s Starliner. Musk thanked Donald Trump for prioritizing their return, with Crew-9 landing off Florida’s coast. Williams was seen waving as NASA conducted medical checks. Trump accused Biden of abandoning the astronauts, stating, “We had to go get them.” NASA assured Crew-9 would soon receive fresh food.
