Joy Behar said on The View that she wishes President Donald Trump had purchased a rocket from Elon Musk to “go to space” just six days after the SpaceX craft explosion.

Panelist and legal expert Sunny Hostin jumped in to advise against the sentence. Goldberg then threw the show to a commercial break while the audience applauded.
Behar was referring to last week’s SpaceX craft explosion over parts of Southern Florida and the Bahamas. The vessel broke up in space shortly after it began to spin uncontrollably with its engines cut off. Behar claims was unaware of the explosion when she made the joke.
