NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams spoke for the first time after returning from space tasks for more than nine months. In an interview with Fox News, the duo made striking statements about unexpected events during the mission. Astronauts clearly admitted that NASA, Boeing and their own mistakes play a role in this ultimately.
Wilmore, as the commander of the crew flight test launched on June 5, said he found him partially guilty for not asking the necessary questions and said: ım I will admit this to the public. I have to ask, but I did not ask.
Wilmore also said Boeing and NASA are responsible for deficiencies in tests and preparations. These statements reveal that the problems experienced during the task are not only technical but also from organizational deficiencies.
Political debates and claims of astronauts
Wilmore also made a shocking confession about US President Donald Trump’s allegations that the Biden administration “abandoned” in space in space. Wilmore said that Trump believes in these allegations and said, orum I believe what he said because they won my trust ”. Astronauts, Biden management knowing that the crisis of this crisis, and they believe that they deliberately left themselves in space, he said.
According to US President Trump, the Biden administration deliberately extended this crisis to leave difficult problems to solve the Trump administration and show that NASA needs more budgets. Trump advocated a policy of squeezing austerity, which required the narrowing of all budgets. The fact that the former administration has been difficult to solve in NASA, leaving billions of dollars of crises, was perceived by Trump as a sabotage attempt that could disrupt the balance of its policies. These allegations of astronauts further fueled political debates.
The astronauts made it clear that they believe that they were chosen by the Biden administration. These statements have launched a new debate questioning the relationship between space tasks and political decisions. How NASA will respond to these claims and how political influences are reflected in space tasks is a matter of curiosity.
