At a press conference after landing with SpaceX and NASA officials on Tuesday, NASA Deputy Space Enterprise Commander Joel Montalbano was asked about President Trump and Ilon Mask’s allegations that the Biden government did not want to bring Starliner back.
“I did not participate in any discussion with the previous administration,” Montalbano said. “It was clear that we had a request from the current government and the results you saw are what we saw today with the landing of Crew-9.”
