NASA -in spokeswoman Bethany Stevens attributed President Donald Trump to secure the return of two astronauts stranded for more than nine months at the International Space Station.
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Stevens said that the mission of the rescue of the Barry “Butch” astronaut “Butch” Wilmore and Suni Williams was a “huge victory for Trump’s administration.”
Success is just the beginning, she said, since Trump’s candidate to become a NASA -in administrator, Jared Isaacman, looks at “Mars and beyond”.

“This is a huge victory for Trump administration. And that would not happen without the intervention of President Trump. Next on Dokket, to continue to carry out an ambitious space agent of President Trump, who, in her inaugural address, said to confirm her candidate for NASA’s administrator, Jared Isaacman, “Stevens said.
Pointed out that Isaacman “was the first civilian to do a Human space walk “ and is a humanitarian who collaborated intensively with St. Jude. Like Trump, Isaacman is “an outsider,” she said.
“President Trump also once considered an outsider, and the American people brought him back to duty, just showing how much he appreciates the business side he brings to the table. And Mr. Isaacman also has a background of an entrepreneur of an extremely successful job,” Stevens said. “I believe he is well adapted, as well as 30 astronauts who wrote in his support and more GOVERNER GOP, that he is well suitable for the helm here in NASA and the implementation of the president’s agenda.”
Last Tuesday, Wilmore, 62, and Williams, 59, collapsed in the American Bay near the Tallahassee coast, Florida, after Elona Musk Spacex Dragon arrived at ISS just days before.
Stevens made it clear that Nasa was ready to “draw the ball” after their safe return to the ground, but noted that their mission would be launched in the heart of Washington, DC

Isaacman faces the upcoming hearing of Senate to confirm, while Trump wants to secure another candidate appointed in his administration.
Earlier this month, eight Republican governors – Ron Desantis, from Florida; Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas; Gregg Abbott of Texas; Bill Lee of Tennessee; Brian Kemp from Georgia; Mike Kehoe of Missouri; And Kevin Stitt of Oklahome-Idisated the Chairman of the Committee on Trade, Science and Transport in Senate Ted Cruz, R-Texas. They advocated “fast” confirmation, noticing Trump’s nominated “unparalleled ability to launch bold initiatives” and Isaacman’s understanding of “a complex landscape of modern space exploration”.

“I think these governors are aware that the result of the November election was the term of the American people to implement change and bring changes,” Stevens told Fox News Digital. “And President Trump brings that change from the first day. The next step here is to confirm Jared Isaacman rapidly, so that we can work on the president’s ambitious space program, as he declared his inauguration.”
“We went to the moon and Mars and beyond, and in this moment we have less than four years to go through that significantly ambitious plan,” she said. “And we have to spend his lead here in Nasa -and to roll the ball there. So, I think that’s the next step towards America first in space.”
