Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

President Trump has asked Elon Musk's SpaceX to retrieve NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, whom he claims are abandoned in space. However, NASA states they are not stranded and have a return plan set for late March. The astronauts, aboard the ISS since June 2024 due to Boeing Starliner issues, were originally supposed to return home earlier. Trump's comments are reportedly aimed at expediting the process, yet NASA has confirmed the planned launch of the Crew-10 mission will still occur, ensuring the station is adequately staffed during the transition.
