i hate to be that guy, but this is a really bizarre statement coming from musk and trump. those two astronauts were already coming back on a spacex dragon, nasa decided that months ago. the dragon has been docked to the iss since september and the plan was for the two starliner astronauts to just wait for the crew-9 mission duration to be over and go back to earth in the two seats reserved for them on the dragon. is trump saying he wants to bring them back earlier? there's only a little over a month left to go before they would be coming back anyway. it seems like trump's just trying to dog on biden even more, which is funny of course, but this is an odd way to do it.
