The chief of Doge Elon Musk opens his work in space on “Kudlow”.
Elon Musk and SpaceX seek to bring Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams, the pair of American astronauts who have been in space much longer than NASA originally, back on the ground.
Musk told Larry Kudlow to Fox Business earlier in the week that his aerospace company “brings them back in a few weeks”.
In collaboration with NASA, SpaceX is scheduled for Wednesday evening to launch its Dragon spacecraft and its Falcon 9 rocket of Kennedy Space Center for the mission of the American crew-10 crew of orbit around 250 miles above the earth.

This mission, carrying a crew of four people intended to replace the NASA crew, currently on the ISS, should inaugurate the long -awaited return of Wilmore and Williams.

The two astronauts have spent more than nine months at the international space station since their arrival on June 6 of last year. NASA had initially planned that Wilmore and Williams time at ISS only lasts about a week.

The Boeing Starliner spaceship had transported the pair of astronauts from Earth to ISS. However, he ended up returning to Earthless Earth in September.
In August, when NASA announced that the spacecraft will return without Wilmore and Williams on board, the space agency said that the unmanned back of the space machine would leave it and Boeing “would continue to collect test data on Starliner during its next return flight, while not accepting more risks than necessary for its crew” after Starliner had “Helium leaks With the control of the spatial reaction “by controlling the reaction of the space.
The two astronauts became part of the 71/72 expedition teams, NASA saying at the time that it aimed to return them to Earth alongside two members of the SpaceX CREW-9 mission in early 2025.
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos Cosmonaut Aleksanr Gorbunov, the members of the crew-9, arrived at the ISS at the end of September.
Hague, Wilmore and Williams have done more than 900 hours of research during their stay at ISS, NASA said at the end of last week.

If the launch of SpaceX Crew-10 takes off as expected Wednesday evening, its crew is supposed to go to ISS the next morning, according to the space agency.
“Here, in a few days, the crew-10 will arrive,” said Hague last week at ISS. “And we are going to put the stick back to the crew-10, and we will return to Earth at the end of a successful long-term mission aboard the space station.”
NASA said in a recent blog article that there will be a “transfer period” with the SpaceX-10 crew before Wilmore, Williams, Hague and Gorbunov leave the ISS. The reports suggest that their return to planet could occur on Sunday.
Another spacecraft Dragon Spacex will bring them back to earth, according to the space agency.

NASA said that the crew-10 “will carry out research, technological demonstrations and maintenance activities aboard the microgravity laboratory” while living on the ISS.

The planned launch on Wednesday evening will mark the tenth operational mission of Dragon’s human flights, according to SpaceX.
“Meteorological managers predict more than 95% chance of weather conditions favorable to the 39a launch complex for takeoff of @Spacex Falcon 9 Rocket and Dragon Spacecraft bearing # CREW10 at @Space_Station”, the Kennedy Space Center published on X.
The dragon spacecraft almost 27 feet high of SpaceX was built with space up to seven passengers.
