Trump Said This About NASA's Starliner Astronouts Payment!

In a recent statement, President Donald Trump expressed his intention to personally compensate NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Sunita "Suni" Williams for their extended mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Originally slated for an eight-day journey, the mission extended to over nine months due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner capsule. Despite the prolonged duration, the astronauts received only a standard per diem of $5 per day, totaling approximately $1,430 for the entire period. President Trump, upon learning of this, remarked, "If I have to, I'll pay it out of my own pocket... That's not a lot for what they had to go through." ​ The President also acknowledged Elon Musk and SpaceX for their role in ensuring the astronauts' safe return, emphasizing the importance of such partnerships in advancing the nation's space exploration efforts.
