Biden Jokes About Rescuing Stranded Astronauts from Space

President Biden humorously suggests he might need to retrieve astronauts stuck on the ISS due to a spacecraft malfunction.

  • NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore have been stranded on the ISS since June after a malfunction with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
  • The astronauts' mission, initially planned for eight days, has extended to several months, with their return now expected in February via SpaceX's Crew Dragon.
  • President Biden made a lighthearted comment about going to space to rescue the astronauts during a meeting at the APEC summit in Peru.
  • Concerns have been raised about the structural integrity of the ISS due to leaks, leading to tensions between NASA and Russia's Roscosmos.
  • Reports of Sunita Williams' health deteriorating were dismissed by her in a recent NASA video, where she confirmed her health remains stable.
