NASA announced that Boeing stranding astronauts in space due to the Starliner spacecraft’s failure has been officially reclassified as a Type A mishap, the agency’s most serious safety designation, nearly eight months after the troubled mission concluded.
In a candid interview, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams shared their experiences during the Boeing Starliner’s first crewed flight which left them stranded in space for nine months. According to Wilmore, thruster failures almost doomed the pair to a fate far worse than an extended stay aboard the International Space Station.
Monday, during an interview with FNC’s “America’s Newsroom,” astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams discussed their return to Earth last Tuesday off the Florida coast in a SpaceX Dragon capsule and who was to blame for stranding them in space.
After spending more than nine months on the International Space Station (ISS), NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are back on Earth thanks to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The pair of formerly stranded space travelers will now undergo a comprehensive recovery process to readjust to life with gravity expected to take 45 days to complete.
Trump said on Tuesday that the rescued astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, will visit the White House as soon as they “get better.”

NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore, one of two that was stranded in space for nine months before being rescued by Donald Trump and Elon Musk, praised Jesus Christ when asked what he learned while stuck in orbit for an extended period of time. “It’s bound in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” he said not long before departing the International Space Station to return to Earth.
After being stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for over nine months, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have finally begun their long-awaited journey back to Earth. The journey began at 1:00 a.m. this morning after President Trump, who has been instrumental in arranging their rescue via Elon Musk’s SpaceX, issued his final order to NASA by saying, “IT IS TIME.”
NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were on their way home Tuesday after being stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) orbital laboratory for 286 days.
