At the APEC summit in Peru, President Joe Biden cracked a joke about being sent to space to rescue astronauts Sunitha Williams and Butch Wilmore, who have been stranded aboard the International Space Station. Originally scheduled for an eight-day mission with Boeing’s Star-liner, the veteran NASA astronauts have been stuck in space for nearly seven months due to an issue with the capsule, which made a trip back without them. They are expected to remain in space until February, when Elon Musk’s SpaceX Crew Dragon will finally bring them home.
