Fox News Hosts Clash Over Astronaut Interview Questions

Jesse Watters criticized Bill Hemmer for not asking about a potential romantic relationship between astronauts during their extended ISS mission.

Jesse Watters expressed frustration with colleague Bill Hemmer for not asking astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunni Williams if they became romantically involved during their nine-month stay on the ISS.
The astronauts returned to Earth in March 2025 after technical issues with their Boeing return craft prolonged their mission by nine months.
Watters joked he would 'slap' Hemmer for missing what he claimed was the 'main question' viewers wanted answered during the interview.
The astronauts emphasized that they maintained a sense of normalcy during their extended mission, including participating in virtual church services, and did not feel abandoned despite the challenges.
The incident has reignited discussions about media sensationalism and the boundaries of professional inquiry into personal lives, particularly in high-stakes environments like space exploration.
