US President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he expects to have rescued astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore at the White House after they “get better” as it is going to be “tough” for them.
“Number one, they have to get better,” he told Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham ahead of the two NASA astronauts’ return to earth after being in the International Space Station for nine months.
Sunita Williams, 59, and Butch Wilmore, 62, arrived on earth after 286 days aboard a SpaceX capsule that brought the stuck astronauts back.
“You know, when you’re up there and you have no pull in your muscle, you have no gravity, you can lift 1,000 pounds like this,” Trump said.
“They have to get, they have to get better. It’s going to be a little bit tough for them. It’s not easy. They were up there a long time, and when they do, they’ll come to the Oval Office,” he added.
