SpaceX’s Dragon capsule docked with the International Space Station (ISS) early Sunday in a mission to rescue American astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stranded for eight months.
The SpaceX capsule docked with the ISS at 12:35 a.m. ET on Sunday.The American astronauts were left hanging last year after the Boeing Starliner was deemed unsafe for them to return on.
Elon Musk revealed on a Joe Rogan podcast that SpaceX offered to rescue the stranded astronauts last year, but the Biden-Harris regime rejected the offer “for political reasons. There is no way they’re going to make anyone supporting Trump look good” ahead of the November presidential election.
Early last week, before the SpaceX launch, a Washington Post reporter interviewed the stranded astronauts and was shocked to learn that Musk’s space rescue offer was rejected by the Biden-Harris team.
Wilmore told the Washington Post: “I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says is absolutely factual…” He noted that the exact reasons the offer was rejected by the Biden-Harris regime were unknown to him or Williams.
Wilmore and Williams are scheduled to depart the ISS on Wednesday, along with American astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.
The SpaceX ship also delivered four astronauts to the ISS as part of a NASA crew rotation mission.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov entered the ISS shortly after opening the hatches between the ISS and the Dragon spacecraft around 0035ET.
