Elon Musk-led SpaceX is set to launch NASA’s Crew-10 mission, marking a critical step in replacing Crew-9 and bringing home stranded astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Willmore. The Falcon-9 rocket will lift off from the Kennedy Space Center for a 12-hour journey to the International Space Station, carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, along with JAXA’s Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos’s Kirill Peskov. However, the mission has taken a political turn, with Donald Trump and Elon Musk accusing the Biden administration of delaying Williams' return. Musk also reignites the debate on deorbiting the ISS, advocating for deep-space exploration over maintaining low-Earth orbit infrastructure.
