The statement came in response to a report that NASA had delayed the Axiom Mission 4, which was meant to launch on Wednesday, indefinitely due to a leak in the ISS's Zvezda module. The module was built in 1985 and was integrated into the ISS in 2000, making it over two decades old.

JD Vance and Susie Wiles pushed Elon Musk to repair his relationship with President Trump after the tech billionaire blew up at the president in a dramatic and public falling out, according to people familiar with the matter. In a call last Friday, the vice president and the White House chief of staff urged Musk to put an end to the feud.

In turn, Musk alleged that the Administration was holding back the public release of so-called Epstein Files because Trump is implicated in them, and he endorsed a message that suggested “Trump should be impeached” and Vance “should replace him.” Those posts have since been deleted.
