CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — 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, checking out with two others. The capsule is due to splash down in the evening off the Florida coast, weather permitting.
Their return will close out a dramatic marathon mission that began with a bungled test flight of Boeing’s Starliner capsule last June. They expected to be gone just a week or so when they launched and eventually had to switch to SpaceX to get back.
