NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers will launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule at 7:03 p.m. EDT, along with Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi and Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. This launch attempt follows a previous aborted mission in March due to a hydraulic system failure. The astronauts are expected to arrive at the ISS on Saturday night, allowing the current crew, who have faced delays, to return. Questions arose politically regarding the extended stay of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, with claims of political motives behind their delay by public figures.
They got left in space, which is not good, for political reasons. This statement suggests a narrative that implicates the Biden administration in the crew's extended stay.
The original mission was intended for just a week, but was extended significantly due to complications with the Boeing spacecraft's thrusters.
