Apparently they just let Trump talk and didn't respond for a full minute and Trump was like "anyway you're the best" and they still didn't respond and Trump's people ended the call.

The astronauts gave him the silent treatment. They could clearly hear him.

I watched it live, they did respond to his direct questions, but at some point Trump went into a monologue that didn't end in a question, and they didn't say anything back, keeping a silence going for an awkward amount of time until Houston asked if they are still on the line and they confirmed that yeah they heard everything. And said nothing else.

Nah other way around. The astronauts asked a NASA administrator if they are still on the line or if there was a handover. Then Tump replied "I am, yes, I am".

He's asking how young the girls in space are, and they're thinking about all of the Sci-Fi movies where the Earth blows up and astronauts have to watch it go.

All the sci-fi movies? Can I get some recommendations?

That's literally the plot of The Shining. It's in Stanley Kubrick's hidden messages from the fake moon that he invented or something.
