The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has revealed that the recent mission to rescue two astronauts stranded in space “would not have happened with President Trump’s intervention.”
Earlier this month, Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore were safely returned to Earth after former President Joe Biden’s administration left the American astronauts in space.
However, President Donald Trump swiftly stepped in to bring them home after he was sworn back into office.
Even NASA admits that the rescue mission wouldn’t have happened without Trump, as reported by The Daily Mail.
NASA’s Bethany Stevens had no hesitation in laying it out.
Speaking to Fox News Digital, Stevens asserted:
“It would not have happened without President Trump’s intervention.”
According to Stevens, this rescue mission marked a “huge win” for the Trump administration.
Unsurprisingly, however, this is not something anyone’s hearing from the corporate media.
Trump drew national attention to the situation in January when he revealed he told SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to “go get” the astronauts who’d been “virtually abandoned” in space.
Musk confirmed the call, and by February, both men publicly stated that the mission had been delayed for months due to politics.
That delay left astronauts Williams and Wilmore stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) for over nine months because of problems with Boeing’s Starliner.
Their trip was only supposed to last for 8 days.
On March 18, the astronauts finally returned to Earth, splashing down off the Florida coast inside a SpaceX Crew-9 capsule.
According to NASA, the mission succeeded thanks to Trump’s pressure and direction.
NASA’s acting administrator, Janet Petro, acknowledged Trump’s hand in speeding up the schedule by a full month.
“Per President Trump’s direction, NASA and SpaceX worked diligently,” she said.
Petro praised both the Trump administration and the international team for adjusting their mission to make it happen.
Trump didn’t hold back on Biden either.
In February, Trump said:
“They didn’t have the go-ahead with Biden.
“He was going to leave them in space…
“He didn’t want the publicity. Can you believe it?”
While NASA tried to spin things by claiming safety and scheduling concerns were the driving factors, the timeline tells a different story.
It wasn’t until Trump intervened that real action happened.
Looking ahead, NASA is gearing up to keep that momentum going with Trump’s nominee for NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman.
A successful entrepreneur and civilian space pioneer, Isaacman has gained serious traction.
Over two dozen astronauts, including former astronaut Garrett Reisman, publicly endorsed him in a letter urging the Senate to confirm him ASAP.
Eight Republican governors, including Ron DeSantis and Sarah Huckabee Sanders, also sent a letter backing Isaacman’s confirmation.
Stevens made it clear:
“President Trump has been bringing about that change since day one.”
With less than four years to execute an ambitious space agenda that includes going to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, Stevens emphasized the urgency of confirming Isaacman and getting to work.
While the president has yet to unite all Republicans behind his plan, Trump has reignited America’s space leadership, and with Isaacman at the helm, the mission is far from over.
NASA under Trump is ready to put America First in space.
Biden, meanwhile, was ready to leave Americans stranded in orbit.
