Washington, January 29, 2025: Former U.S. President Donald Trump has appealed to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to help bring back astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who are reportedly facing challenges returning from their space mission. The astronauts are part of an international crew aboard the ISS (International Space Station) and were expected to return to Earth, but logistical complications have delayed their journey.
“Elon Musk has revolutionized space travel, and I urge him to step in and assist in bringing our brave astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore back home safely,” Trump stated in a social media post. The appeal comes amid growing public concern about the astronauts’ safety. NASA and SpaceX have not yet commented on the request, but efforts are reportedly underway to address the situation and ensure a safe return for the crew.
