The two NASA astronauts whose return to earth were delayed for months are on the way back.
Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore left the international space station on a Dragon Spacex spacecraft early on Tuesday and started a trip of about 5 p.m. to a splash off the Florida coast.
The NASA astronaut, Nick Hague and Cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, were also on board the crafts while he undressed around 1:05 a.m..

Williams and Wilmore played in June 2024 the first flight from the Boeing Boeing Starliner capsule. What was to be a week -long trip at the ISS has rather turned into a nine -month stay. The Boeing Starliner which was to bring them home after about 10 days of problems experienced problems, leaving the pair at the station for months.
Their spacecraft back early on Tuesday maneuvered in space, moving above and behind the station, before drawing a series of starting burns which returned it to the ground.

NASA said it expected the return trip ends around 5:57 p.m. when the dragon should splash the Florida coast.
