Elon Musk Just Declared this after Dragon rescue Starliner Astronaut Return...
“Elon Musk saved the U.S. space program...If it weren't for Elon Musk, we would not be able to fly U.S. Astronauts from U.S. soil to the International Space Station. There is no doubt about it.”
These are huge words of praise from former NASA astronaut Charles Camarda for Elon Musk, recognizing what he and SpaceX just have accomplished.
And it’s absolutely true! The story of the Starliner astronauts has finally come to an end—they have returned home safely.
What did Elon Musk declare after this mission?
Let’s find out more on today’s episode of Alpha Tech!

NASA’s Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore — who gained international attention as their planned short stay in space stretched into a more than nine-month, politically fraught mission — are finally home.
Williams and Wilmore, alongside NASA’s Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency, safely splashed down off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida at 5:57 p.m. ET Tuesday.
The crew’s highly anticipated return came after the crew climbed aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and departed the International Space Station at 1:05 a.m. ET Tuesday.

The quartet is part of the Crew-9 mission, a routine staff rotation jointly operated by NASA and SpaceX. The Crew-9 capsule launched to the space station in September with Hague and Gorbunov riding alongside two empty seats reserved for Williams and Wilmore, who had been on the orbiting laboratory since last June, when their original ride — a Boeing Starliner spacecraft — malfunctioned.
Safely reaching Earth concluded a trip that, for Williams and Wilmore, has garnered broad interest because of the unexpected nature of their extended stay in orbit and the dramatic turn of events that prevented them from returning home aboard the Boeing Starliner vehicle.
