President Donald Trump<\/a>, while signing executive orders Thursday in the Oval Office, vowed to bring home two NASA astronauts who have been stuck in space for eight months.<\/p>\n

“Elon [Musk]<\/a> is right now preparing a ship to go up and get them,” the president told Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy<\/a>. “We love you, and we’re coming up to get you, and you shouldn’t have been up there so long.”<\/p>\n

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were stranded at the International Space Station<\/u><\/a> after their Boeing Starliner spacecraft had technical issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Their mission began June 5, 2024, and was only scheduled to last eight days.<\/p>\n

Due to numerous issues with the spacecraft, NASA deemed it unsafe<\/a> to carry the astronauts back to Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It returned to the planet unmanned.<\/p>\n

One of the astronauts recently confirmed former President Joe Biden<\/a> declined an offer of help from Musk, SpaceX CEO, the New York Post reported.<\/p>\n

Trump on Thursday said Biden “left them alone” in space because he was “embarrassed by what happened.”<\/p>\n

He continued, “The most incompetent president in our history has allowed that to happen to you, but this president won’t let that happen.”<\/p>\n

SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft<\/a> is scheduled to launch on Wednesday to head to the space station, then return home with Wilmore and Williams after a handover period of several days, NASA said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump later joked with Doocy about partaking in the mission.<\/p>\n

“Should I go on that journey just to be on the ship when we stop?” the president asked Doocy.<\/p>\n

Doocy responded, “If that’s an option, yes.”<\/p>\n

“I should do it,” Trump replied with a laugh. “That’s terrible. I thought he liked me.”<\/p>\n

Another reporter chimed in saying the president should stay on Earth, to which Trump responded, “She likes me better.”<\/p>\n
