Stranded NASA Astronauts Return: Celebrities Speak Out

Wilmore and Williams' journey to the International Space Station (ISS) began on June 5 when they boarded Boeing's Starliner crew capsule. They were expected to spend about a week in space, however, after their vessel encountered technical issues, the Starliner was sent back to Earth without them and their return home was delayed. They were then reassigned to SpaceX—the astronautics company founded by Elon Musk.

Since then, their return has continually been pushed back, and it's become a topic of political discussion, with President Donald Trump blaming former President Joe Biden for their nine-month stay. That claim, however, wasn't true since Wilmore and Williams were already scheduled to return on a SpaceX flight before Trump pushed for Musk to get them.
