A careful collapse of Trump’s desperate attempt to get the credit for the return of the Starlener crew

Finally, Starliner’s story will end with The return of NASA astronaut Sony Williams and Boot Wilmor On Tuesday, after a long stay in space. The story ended largely, but that did not prevent President Donald Trump from taking a last stab in the previous administration – a stab packed in misinformation, exaggeration and explicit lies.

Trump moved to his Truth Social platform on Monday to get the credit for the plan to return Starliner astronauts to the homeland. NASA, Wilmor and Williams, It was launched to the Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner On June 5, 2024. The task was supposed to last for eight days, but NASA announced that Starliner announced insecure in the aftermath of the discomfort Technical issues. the The spacecraft returned to the house emptyWith the appointment of Wilmore and Williams as a pair of seats on a Dragon Dragon spacecraft, which was recently canceled from the International Space Station on Tuesday, March 18 at 1:05 am East time.

Trump claims frighteningly that he is easy Rescue task To bring astronauts home, the Biden administration accused of “abandoning them”. The President’s latest social media on the return of Crew-9, Published to the social truth on MondayDoozy, full of illogical demands and intuitive accuracy. We have gone through Trump’s position, define facts in the various president’s claims and provide the background and context to reveal the true story. The president opens:

I just spoken to NASA, Janet Petro. It coordinates our team of respected scientists and space engineers, and the various “geniuses”, who agreed to allow our astronauts to return to the homeland before the two weeks originally accredited by NASA.

As the newly appointed representative official, we are seriously doubting that Janet Petro had a great relationship with this routine Spacex mission. If there is anything, it is considered a broadcaster, at work hard Dismantling the space agency From the inside at the request of its president. Trump pretends to respect “scientists and space engineers in the space agency and the various” geniuses “even at a time when Petro raises his executive orders – with the placement of multiple offices and the layoffs of the employees, and it is possible to prepare for more discounts. With Petro as an official, NASA has NASA. It temporarily stopped working on a number of astronomical physics committees and planetary science And removal of signals to the main terms, including Signs to women in leadershipFrom its locations on the web.

Again, as a routine Spacex task, NASA’s participation is minimal, and it is not clear any “genius” in the space agency that is supposed to play a role in the return. In that memo, the “genius” placement in quotes appears to be a kind of posterior burning.

Trump also “spoke just” with Petro, and that she agreed to “allow our astronauts to return home”, another sick joke. This plan has been in business since August last year. On September 28, 2024, NASA launched its mission with astronauts instead of the usual fourth (NASA astronaut Nick The Hague and Roscosmos in Alexander Gorbonov). The two empty seats of Lielames and Wilmmore, who have become active members and shareholders in Crew-9-were allocated until the space of the space that, for Lylleniz, led to a new record.

Trump added that the alleged rescue mission is to bring astronauts to the house “a long period of two weeks, originally accredited by NASA.” Space pioneers already return to the house two weeks before his planned – when Trump insists – but what does this mean? A long time ago?

Regardless, Trump may refer to technical problems with Dragon Crew Dragon, which delayed the launch of NASA’s Spacex Crew-10 mission. This means that Crew-9, along with Williams and Wilmore, were unable to leave ISS until Crew-10 reached the station at some point in April. NASA has finished switching the designated dragon vehicle to Crew-10, Launching the mission On March 12th and the mission of the crew 9 on March 17 after a short delivery period. Technically, that crew saved an additional period for two weeks or so on ISS, but for space pioneers who were in space for more than nine months, two additional two weeks had not made a big difference. Trump added:

Janet was great. She said, “Let’s bring them home now, sir!” – I thanked her.

Again, this sense of urgent call to return astronauts to Earth is a pure imagination. Starliner’s crew needed a rescue task – a Song -launch spacecraft – which was launched in September – was stopped outside ISS this entire time! The crew could leave the station at any time since September. However, doing this could have been incredibly wasting, as other crew astronauts had to join them on the return trip. Six months of tasks on the International Space Station are the standard.

Instead, William and Wilwmore, as a fully trained NASA astronaut, were more than wanting to assume the responsibilities of the astronauts who were unable to take the trip. This was logical for many reasons – not at least a huge cost to launch astronauts to ISS. It should also be noted that at any time, Willmore or Williams said they were “abandoned” or were done through this situation. Trump, however, seems to live outside his movie on the Day of Resurrection. More Trump:

This started when I asked Elon Musk to climb and get the displaced astronauts, because the Biden administration was unable to do so. They forgot the shame of astronauts, because they considered it a very embarrassing event for them – something else that he inherited from that failed group unqualified.

Certainly, a plan to bring the Starliner crew to the home did not start with Trump calling his friend, CEO and SPACEX owner, to recover the displaced astronauts. In February, Musk claimed that he had The Biden Administration offered a plan To restore astronauts at Starliner soon, without waiting for the Crew-9 mission to return from ISS. Musk did not provide any evidence that supports this claim.

This Starliner’s mission was the first Boeing crew to transport astronauts to and from ISS. It is a special test trip, funded by NASA, where the space agency relies on a commercial partner in its space. However, our Trump throws previous administration, not Boeing, because of the failure of this embarrassing epic. More President’s position:

Eleon has taken the project, and I sent Spacex Dragon, who succeeded in drawing, and we hope, while there is a permanent danger in such a task, they are soon on their way home – when taking off tomorrow, and falling on Wednesday. The exact times will be provided for you. Safety always comes first, and the maximum criteria are adhered to.

This project that Trump is talking about is certainly not about his action or Musk, as the plan has been in effect for months. As noted, his only contribution was to accelerate the return of the homeland by two weeks. In fact, this is the political theater Trump and an opportunity to throw unjustified shadow on the previous administration.

Trump also tried to increase the drama of the so -called rescue task by emphasizing “danger”, although these types of crew’s tasks to ISS have been routine for a long time. Yes, there is always a risk when it comes to space distance, but there is nothing unique in this task. Also, it lands on Tuesday. Trump closed his position by saying:

But after eight months for a mission that was supposed to be eight days, it is time. I look forward to seeing Butch and Suni, and thank you again for NASA and Janet Petro!

Trump, and will continue to claim that he saved Starlener’s astronauts, but the duo is You are unlikely to play in the president’s trick to politicize the mission. “The words they said, well, this is politics.”, From my point of view, politics has not played at this at all. “

There you have – Straight from the mouth of the astronaut. But this will not prevent Trump from seizing the troubled Starliner program in Boeing as another way to take footage in his predecessor.
