Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams had been at the International Space Station since June 2024. Their mission was only scheduled to last a week after the launch of Boeing’s first Astronauts flight.

Hannity pressed Musk in politics behind astronauts’ Delayed return, and Musk left the record in his communications with the previous Biden administration.
“We definitely offered to return astronauts before. There is no doubt about that,” Musk said.
“Astronauts were supposed to only be there for eight days, and they have been there for almost ten months. Therefore, obviously, that makes no sense. Spacex could have brought the astronauts back after a few months, and we made that offer to the Biden administration. It was rejected for political reasons, and that is just a fact.”
