Until President Donald Trump asked Elon Musk to “go get” two astronauts, on at least four occasions the far-left, taxpayer-funded welfare queens at NPR described these same astronauts as “stranded.”
But now, because the regime media will never allow Trump to get anything right, NPR claims these astronauts are “not stranded.”
Along with the publication dates, here are the four previous NPR headlines, all of which use the word “stranded”:
August 8, 2024: After two months, astronauts stranded at the ISS may have a way back home
For two astronauts, an eight day mission to the International Space Station has stretched into two months due to vehicle issues. Now, NASA says it’s considering bringing them back in a SpaceX capsule.
August 24, 2024: NASA will bring stranded astronauts back on SpaceX — not Boeing’s Starliner
In early June, astronauts Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams blasted off in Starliner on a trip to the station that was supposed to last about eight days–but now it will be eight months.
September 13, 2024: Stranded NASA astronauts say being stuck in space is just part of the job
The NASA astronauts who were left stranded on the International Space Station because of technical issues with their spacecraft are keeping in good spirits — even planning to vote in November — the pair revealed in a space to Earth call with the media on Friday.
September 29, 2024: SpaceX crew arrives at the ISS, with plans to bring back 2 stranded astronauts
The stranded pair, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, flew to the ISS aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule on June 5 on what was supposed to be an eight-day test mission. But the two have remained there due to concerns about the safety of Boeing’s capsule. NASA made the “tough decision” to return Starliner to Earth without the crew earlier this month.
Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams launched what was supposed to be an eight-day mission in June of last year.
Now they have been up there for close to eight months. But according to NPR, through the simple act of calling on them to be rescued, Donald Trump has saved them! Don’t you see? They are no longer stranded. Oh, they are still up there, but they are no longer stranded up there. They are just up there.
Look at this:
January 29, 2025: Trump asks SpaceX to ‘go get’ two stranded ISS astronauts. They’re not stranded
“I have just asked Elon Musk and SpaceX to “go get” the 2 brave astronauts who have been virtually abandoned in space by the Biden Administration,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Good luck Elon!!!”
The astronauts Musk and Trump are presumably referencing are NASA’s Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. NASA has long said the crew isn’t “stranded” and a plan to return them safely to Earth has been in place for months. In fact, NASA astronauts always train for lengthy missions and medical experts have kept a watchful eye on the health of the two during their extended stay.
NPR is so deluded, so deranged, so uninterested in doing anything other than trolling Trump and hitting the political sweet spot of its tote bag-wearing alcoholic wine moms, even this headline contradicts itself.
By the way, that “plan” NASA has… It was originally scheduled to bring them home in February, but that schedule has since been scuttled and moved to late March.
“But NASA recently announced a delay in Crew-10, which would bring Crew-9’s replacement to the station, to late March,” writes NPRLOL.
How many months must pass before it’s okay with NPR for Donald Trump to ask for outside help? Ten months? How about 14 months or 30 months or 300 months? Using NPR logic, as long as NASA “has a plan,” and as long as it’s a Republican president taking action outside of the precious gubmint, those two could be awaiting rescue in 2044 and, Don’t you dare call them “stranded. NASA has a plan!
