Nasa & spaceX on friday will count down to a long awaited crewed rocket launch, that will allow them to bring back Home, the U.S. Astronauts Butch Wilmore & Sunni Williams, who have been stuck on International Space Station for last Nine Months.
The U.S. Space Agency & SpaceX had planned on Wednesday to launch from Florida, a U.S. city, replacement crew of four astronaut that the mission called Crew10, but in a last minute issue with the rocket’s ground systems force delay.
But now stalled for lift off at 7.03pm on Friday on 2330GMT, and the Crew10’s arrival to ISS(International Space Station) on Saturday nights, which will allow the Return of Wilmore & Williams, the Two veteran NASA Astronauts and U. S. Navy test pilots, who in June2024 were in a frist humans test-fly by Boeing Starliner space craft to ISS.
But the problem with Starliner’s propulsion systems during its fly to ISS (international space station) was delayed, what was expected to eight-days-delay and stay there at space and the eight day delay, NASA deemed it too risky for the astronauts, to fly Home on that Boeing Craft, which led to the Current Plan to bring them Home in a SpaceX capsule.
Now it is also entangled politically as U.S. President Donald Trump & his Advisor Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, claimed without evidence that , last year on June2024, the then President Joe Biden left Wilmore & Williams left on space station for political reasons.
But Wilmore & Sunni Williams added in a standpoint that, ” We came prepared to Stay long, even though we planned to stay short…”. But NASA’s decisions to keep them on ISS ( international space station) until Crew10 arrival.
” That’s what about Your Nations Humans space Flight programmes all about , planning for unknown, unexpected , and we did that……” Wilmore added.
