Bill Summary

to honor Elon Musk and SpaceX for their historic rescue mission of two American astronauts who were stranded on the International Space Station.

AI Summary

This resolution honors Elon Musk and SpaceX for rescuing two American astronauts, Captain Barry Wilmore and Captain Sunita Williams, who were stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for over nine months after technical issues prevented their return on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. According to the document, the astronauts originally arrived at the ISS in June 2024 for an eight-day mission but became unexpectedly stranded. In January 2025, President Trump requested Musk's assistance in returning the astronauts home, which prompted SpaceX to launch a rescue mission. On March 18, 2025, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft successfully transported Wilmore and Williams back to Earth, completing a seventeen-hour voyage with a water landing off the Florida coast. The resolution commends Musk for his "expeditious action" and commitment to serving the nation, and formally recognizes his role in bringing the astronauts home safely. Additionally, the resolution includes a provision for preparing an official copy of the document for presentation.
