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.

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.
