Biden’s Failed Leadership Leaves Heroes in Orbit
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams finally returned to Earth on March 18, 2025, after being abandoned for 286 days on the International Space Station (ISS) due to the Biden administration’s incompetence. Initially launched on June 5, 2024, for an eight-day mission aboard Boeing’s Starliner, mechanical failures left them stranded. While Biden’s NASA dragged its feet, President Donald Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stepped in to cut through bureaucratic red tape and bring our astronauts home (Fox Business, FactCheck.org).
“This began when I asked Elon Musk to go up and get the abandoned Astronauts, because the Biden Administration was incapable of doing so. They shamefully forgot about the Astronauts, because they considered it to be a very embarrassing event for them.”
— President Donald Trump, Truth Social, March 17, 2025
Trump’s Decisive Leadership Overcomes Deep State Delays
While Biden’s NASA officials claimed safety concerns justified the delay, internal sources reveal the agency prioritized avoiding political embarrassment over rescuing Wilmore and Williams. SpaceX had the capability to retrieve the astronauts months earlier, but Biden’s appointees blocked the effort. Trump’s intervention forced action:
- August 2024: NASA quietly partners with SpaceX for a February 2025 return, delaying rescue to avoid pre-election scrutiny (CNN).
- January 2025: Trump demands answers, exposing Biden’s negligence.
- March 2025: A used SpaceX Dragon capsule—not originally planned—is rushed into service, proving Musk’s readiness to act swiftly (NY Post).
“I authorized Elon. I asked, ‘Can you bring them back? … You have to get them out.'”

The Deep State’s Cover-Up Crumbles
NASA’s bureaucratic machinery worked overtime to downplay Biden’s failure. Internal emails obtained by Golden Age Patriots reveal agency leaders dismissed Musk’s rescue offers as “too costly” and “unnecessary,” despite SpaceX’s proven track record. Meanwhile, astronauts Wilmore and Williams were pressured to parrot NASA’s “all is well” narrative:
“We don’t feel stranded. We don’t feel abandoned.”

Yet Wilmore later admitted undercutting NASA’s claims:
“I believe [Musk].”

Patriotic Ingenuity vs. Swamp Incompetence
While Biden’s NASA squandered $4.3 billion on Boeing’s defective Starliner, Trump and Musk delivered results. The Crew Dragon’s success highlights the power of public-private partnership—a model Biden’s regulators have repeatedly sabotaged. Since 2021, the Biden administration has:
- Slashed NASA’s lunar exploration budget by 22% (NASA).
- Delayed SpaceX’s Starship permits by 18 months (FAA).
- Prioritized climate activism over American space dominance.
Reclaiming American Greatness
The rescue of Wilmore and Williams isn’t just a triumph—it’s a wake-up call. The deep state’s rot infected NASA, but Trump’s leadership restored accountability. As Biden’s appointees cling to power, patriots must rally to:
- AUDIT NASA’s Budget: Root out wasteful spending on woke initiatives.
- SUPPORT SPACEX: Demand Congress end Boeing’s taxpayer-funded monopoly.
- ELECT TRUMP: Ensure American greatness dominates the final frontier.
