NASA spokeswoman Bethany Stevens credited former President Donald Trump for the successful return of two astronauts stranded on the ISS for over nine months.

She emphasized that the rescue was a “huge win” for Trump’s administration and highlighted his nominee for NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman, as key to advancing Trump’s space agenda. Isaacman, a businessman and the first civilian to complete a spacewalk, has strong backing from GOP governors and astronauts.

With his Senate confirmation pending, Stevens stressed the urgency of pushing forward plans for lunar and Mars exploration under Trump’s leadership, Fox News has reported.
