0:00On April 7th, President Trump hopped on a call with NASA's Artemis II crew to celebrate their epic moon flyby, but the internet zeroed in on that, cringe-worthy awkward silence that blew up online. These four astronauts just pulled off the farthest trip any humans have ever made from Earth, circling the moon for the first time in over 50 years. Earlier this week on April 1st, the mission launched, smashing distance records in a man-space craft like nothing before. Trump hyped them up big time, saying they've made America proud and done something truly special. Then came the pause, no one said a word from the crew's end. An astronaut piped up with a quick com's check, and Trump chalked it up to the nine-second delay from that massive distance, insisting reception was. Solid. Social media lit up with reactions, folks joking about budget cuts, or calling it Trump's closest brush with real integrity. Make shaded the whole PR vibe between pros and space and the commander-in-chief. Trump wrapped it light-hearted, promising oval office autographs when they return.
