In what must be a massive embarrassment for US Space Agency NASA and a damning blow to the legacy of the Biden administration, President Donald Trump revealed via social media on Tuesday Jan. 28 that he has asked SpaceX founder Elon Musk to bring home two NASA astronauts who have been on board the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024.
NASA first approached Musk’s SpaceX in August 2024, to return the pair on a Crew Dragon spacecraft.
That craft is already docked with the space station, having flown there for NASA’s Crew-9 astronaut rotation mission in September 2024 with empty seats for the two astronauts. Their your of duty on the ISS was scheduled to last no more than two weeks but the craft which had ferried them to the space station showed signs of mechanical faulure and was deemed unsafe. After delays, the mission to return them had been slated for late March.
Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday:
“I have just asked Elon Musk and @SpaceX to ‘go get’ the 2 brave astronauts who have been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden Administration.”
“They have been waiting for many months on @Space Station. Elon will soon be on his way. Hopefully, all will be safe. Good luck Elon!!!”
In a statement on social media platform X, Musk confirmed Trump has asked his space technology firm to bring the two astronauts home as soon as possible.
“We will do so,” Musk wrote.
The staranded astronauts Sunita Williams, 59, and Butch Wilmore, 61, were launched into space to conduct station research, maintenance, system testing, and data analysis.
The mission was initially expected to last just over a week or two but NASA decided to return the Starliner spacecraft empty after the discovery of helium leaks and issues with the craft’s control thrusters.
Williams and Wilmore were set to return to Earth in February during a handover alongside astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, both of whom arrived at the ISS in September 2024.
That plan was delayed until late March 2025 after SpaceX and NASA said they needed more time to complete the processing of a new Crew Dragon capsule.
“The agency’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission with NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov will return to Earth following the arrival of Crew-10 to the orbital laboratory,” NASA said in a December statement.
Despite the unplanned extension to their mission, NASA has insisted that Williams and Wilmore are in good health and that their time in orbit falls within acceptable limits.
The role of cosmic electric currents in earth’s climate
If you’ve been following the growth of the Electric Universe movement, you know that this growth is due largely to the power of a new paradigm to explain things left unexplained by conventional theory. The greatest surprises of the space age are not surprises to researchers exploring the role of the electric force across the cosmos. Nor is it surprising to see the electric force at work close to home, both in the sculpting of planetary surfaces and in the evolution of life on earth ...
Chinese Lunar Rover Finds No Evidence of American Moon Landings
As the 'Science Squad' (Brian Cox, Dara O'Briain and assorted Star Wars fans) get hyper over Major Tim Peake 'going into space' I call for scepticism. He hasn't gone into 'space', the space station is in a fixed orbit 250 miles above the earth and that is within the earth's atmosphere, in the layer known as The Thermosphere, which is not even the outermost sphere of the atmosphere.
Mind Control: How It Works and how The Elite Use It
Mind control, the ability of science to deliver a completely compliant and uncomplaining population. It had been the goal of tyrants for over a hundred years, just as the abilty to comtrol human minds and turn us into humandroids has been the goal of mad scientists. But is such scientific advance getting uncomfortably close to reality? The idea of a scientific dictatorship able to subjugate individuality was born over a century ago by insane scientists and control freaks who saw human qualities like empathy and compassion as an obstriction to scientific progress. welcome to Dystoipia.
Levitation: Did Tesla Teach Us How To Get Ourselves Up
Science has always been for the terminally insane, the thing was some of the pointy headed insaniacs were actually very creative and clever.

Infinity And The Myth Of Space And Time
There is a revolution afoot in the way we think of the universe and humanity's relationship with it. The materialist science of Isaaac Newton, the father of modern physics was proving inadequate to deal with the infinitely small and the infinitely large and Albert Einstein's thought experiments floundered on the rock of infinity which defies mathematical enumeration. It looks as if the world's most ancient surviving religion is coming to our rescue.
Scientists Prove Science Is For The Terminally Insane
News coming out of the world of 'science' is getting crazier. But is that any wonder when the government and the BBC keep throwing money at idiots like Brian Cox who does a little come in his pants every time he uses the word science (which explains why he uses it six times a minute)

Laundering Scientific FallaciesFrom climate change to economic chaos, experts can be relied on to get things wrong. Does spending too much time in universities make people stupid or does the computer science used to model reality for fail to distinguish between reality and wishful thinking? This analysis blows apart the business of laundering reality to mask the hoplessness of scientific predictions ...
