Well, it’s something of the head-scratch.
Tuesday evening (January 28), President Donald Trump announced another task Expedal Founder and CEO Elon Muskwhich already leads to a cost and regulation of regulation that leads to Department of Government Efficiency.
“Elon Musk and @ Spacex I just made a” go “to” go to space. They have been waiting for many months at space station. He will soon be on his way. We hope all will be safe. Good luck Elon !!! “Trump wrote in a message on his true social platform. The message has also been XN postedMusk’s social networking area with its owner.

According to Trump means NASA’s Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who has lived in the Orbiting Laboratory from June 2024.
They reached the first mission of Boeingen EARTIN The spacecraft will last only 10 days. However, Starliner had problems with his Thrusters and extended NASA Williams’ and Wilmore Orbital Stay and Boeing examined the problem.
In August, Agency He decided not to risk Putting Duo in Starliner to travel home. Capsule would be returned to the ground (that) Did what happened in September) And Wilmore and Williams would come home to the dragon crew in the space crew – a vehicle that flies the company’s crew-9 mission. ISS has been launched on September 28.
This decision mixed some crew; Nasa had to take two astronauts originally four-person Crew 9 launched Wilmore and Williams to make a descending leg space. (Both Starliner astronauts are in good health at ISSAnd, and there are many supplies at the end of their stay, NASA officials said.)
Trump did not mention this home plan that is in his message. And he didn’t mention Musk, the president’s request before posting it in X.
“@ Pacex has made it available to @ space_station as soon as possible. We will do so. The horrible Bid Administration left so much time,” Musk wrote X Post Tuesday evening.
This context means “as soon as possible”. Crew-9 originally came home at the end of February, but this timeline has been throw at least one month back So SpaceX helps help help help. Crew-10 is a brand new dragon (than proven flight) vehicle, and the company wants a little more time to check everything.
Does the muscle mean that SpaceX will work to bring Crew-9 houses, ready to launch Crew-10? NASA would probably not be happy with that plan, like Ars Technica Eric Berger is noted. He would leave Don Pettit since he was the only ISS ISS astronaut; He should do a lot of science and operations until he reached its own reinforcements.
Or can SpaceX change the Crew-10’s dragon to start a flight before proving? After all, the company has four crew dragons that carried astronauts and orbits from the orbit, effort, endurance, freedom and resilience. (Freedom Crew-9 is flying mission, so there is already in ISS.)
It is possible that Trump and Musk has seemed quite close to the President, especially when they are playing with politics. They both blamed the will of Williams’ administration and stay in Wilmore’s ISS, after all.
Or maybe trolling, two men, perhaps the two most powerful people in the world – they like it very much.
