Stuck astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally on their way back to Earth

NASA's two stuck astronauts are finally on their way home after more than nine months in space. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams left the International Space Station in a SpaceX capsule early Tuesday,

Astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were initially stuck in space due to technical issues with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft, are now on their way back to Earth. After a series of delays caused by thruster malfunctions and helium leaks, NASA and Boeing confirmed that the spacecraft is now safe for re-entry. The astronauts, who have been aboard the International Space Station (ISS) since June 6, are expected to undock from the ISS and begin their descent, with a planned splashdown off the coast of Florida. This mission marks the first crewed test flight for the Starliner, aimed at certifying it for future regular trips to the ISS.
