Trump’s plan for Eleon Musk to bring the “cut off” astronauts as soon as possible.

For the reasons for this It was not immediately clear, as the founder of Spacex Elusk moved to his social media site X on Tuesday evening to conduct a perplexing permit on space.

“Potus Spacex request to bring astronauts to the homeless home on Space_station as soon as possible. We will do that,” Musk books. “Biden administration has left them there for a long time.”

Now in general, in Ars Technica, our policy is not strictly writing stories on the things that Elon Musk says on X. However, this statement was a very permit and stimulates people, as it bears a little interpretation.

First of all, the most logical interpretation of this is that Elon is running. “He wanders,” said one of the best space policy sources. After all, a tweet was sent at 4:20 pm in the Central Time Zone, where there is now its headquarters.

Even if the hunting, it will continue to cause headaches inside NASA.

Above all, NASA made great efforts to confirm that the astronauts referred to here – butch Wilmore and Suni Williams – did not penetrate at the International Space Station. There is some debate about whether there was a period last summer when they were cut off the spouses, who traveled to the space station on the Boeing Starlener in early June. This task has fallen due to technical problems, including problems in the Starliner payment system. (In the end, Starlener The house flew without its crew. However, since the SPACEX Crew-9 mission with two empty seats arrived in late September, Willmore and Williams had a safe house. The dragon vehicle is currently on the space station.

Then the musk comes, with one of the largest microphones in the world, shouting that NASA astronauts have been cut off and that President Trump wants to save them. It is a bomb by the founder of Spacex, who has become a close consultant to Trump, to say publicly.

It is also possible that MUSK will not roam and Trump asked Spacex to repeat Wilmore and Williams earlier for political reasons – that is, in his opinion, Biden’s administration was ashamed.

NASA or Spacex immediately did not respond to a comment on Tuesday evening.

Can they return?

If Trump asks to return NASA now astronauts, the 9 crew mission may return to Earth early. It is currently scheduled to start in the Pacific Ocean in early April. According to NASA, astronauts themselves, Willmore and Williams are fine in space. They have a lot of food and clothes, and a lot of work to do it. Sincerity, the sources told ARS the same. Although Willmore and Williams did not initially expect to spend 10 months in space, they could not bear any serious risks to doing so. In fact, it is part of their functions to treat these types of emergency situations.

The current return date is run by launching Mission Crew-10, also on a Spacex. This task flying a new spacecraft for dragon, and SPACEX has previously requested a slightly longer time to process and prepare the spacecraft for its first launch. This target was transferred from flying this task from February to March 25. To meet this date, the sources indicated that Spacex could need to clarify the different dragon that was previously transferred-which is the dragon designated for use by AXiom-4- to the AXiom-4 mission to AXiom-4- to a full 10 crew.
