US President Donald Trump stated that he asked the company SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, to return two astronauts to the International Space Station after the postponement of the scheduled launch. "I asked Elon Musk, if possible, to send your ship again – or, if you're already there, to bring our people back to NASA," Trump said. "We'll work on this in the near future," he added. The launch, which was scheduled for Wednesday, was postponed due to unfavorable weather conditions.
