NASA’s Stranded Astronauts Confirm Biden Abandoned Them in Space — He Declined Elon Musk’s Rescue Offer For ‘Political Reasons’

NASA’s stranded astronauts have acknowledged that Joe Biden deliberately abandoned them in space for political purposes.

Barry Wilmore and his crewmate Sunita Williams have been stuck on the International Space Station since July last year after their Boeing Starliner ran into technical issues.

At a virtual press conference on Tuesday, Wilmore was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that Joe Biden declined his offer to bring them back on a SpaceX flight several months ago for “political reasons.”

“I can only say that Mr Musk, what he says, is absolutely factual,” Wilmore said.

Wilmore went on to say he and his partner at the “utmost respect” for Musk and Trump.

I can tell you, at the outset, all of us have the utmost respect for Mr. Musk, and obviously respect and admiration for our President of the United States, Donald Trump.

We appreciate them, we appreciate all they do for us, for human spaceflight, for our nation. We’re thankful that they’re in the positions they’re in.

The words they’ve said — politics — I mean, that’s part of life. We understand that, and there’s an important reason why we have a political system, and the political system that we do have.

And we’re behind it 100 percent. We know what we’ve lived up here. We know the ins and outs and the specifics that they may not be privy to.

And I’m sure they have some issues that they’re dealing with, information that they have that we are not privy to.

So when I think about your question, that’s part of life. We are on board with it, we support our nation, we support our nation’s leaders and we’re thankful for them.

During an interview on The Joe Rogan Experience last week, Musk explained how Biden had declined his offer and intentionally “pushed the return date past the inauguration date.”

“There’s no way that they’re gonna make anyone who’s supporting Trump look good,” Musk said.

“So people say, like, ‘Oh, Elon’s making it up. The Biden administration wasn’t against SpaceX.’”

He may have given them lifelong health issues by stranding them in space so long

If Bidensky had cared about them, he would have sent Gabby Gifford’s husband and his astronaut brother up to bring them back.

The Soviet space program wasn’t exactly known for compassion and democrats carry on the tradition.

What do they actually do up there? Has the space station produced anything of value for humanity?

“Health issues” is right. People who travel long distances often and by air have their share of health issues as a result. Alzheimer’s and other neurological issues.

What else are they going to say at this point?!

Zero gravity really affects Astronaut health, not just bone and muscle mass but also vision and even brain cognition.

8 months is a long time.

We need a special word containing “Biden” (or a close variation thereof) which when used, denotes the lowest IQ life-form which the laws of physics allow to exist in this universe. The ‘man’, and his entire family, define slime, excrement, putrescence, and vileness. There is no hate sufficient to encompass the true feelings that should be held regarding that POS.

After 8 month there may be real problems adjusting to gravity etc when they get back to earth.

Was that the reason, or was there something unsafe in Musks craft?

The papers had already trumpeted the rescue of the astronauts for several days back in October…

and then they were left in the station for ‘unstated reasons’

Similar to how the problems with the original craft were never fully discussed !
