NASA astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, who were left stranded in space for months due to technical issues, have finally returned to earth.
The duo landed safely today as SpaceX’s Dragon Freedom capsule splashed down off the coast of Florida, ending a mission that was supposed to last just eight days but stretched to nine months.
NASA confirmed their return today in a post on X, saying, “Home sweet home. NASA’s SpaceX #Crew9 touched down at Johnson Space Center’s Ellington Field in Houston at 11:19 pm CDT, March 18, after their @Space_Station mission and successful splashdown earlier this afternoon.”
