"The prolonged mission of astronauts Wilmore and Williams turned into a political spectacle as delays with the Boeing Starliner shifted their return to a SpaceX capsule."
"Commander Nick Hague expressed gratitude for the time spent in space, emphasizing its significance as part of an international collaboration for humanity's benefit."
NASA astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Suni Williams returned to Earth after more than nine months in space, following a delayed mission caused by faults in their Boeing Starliner craft. They, along with two other astronauts, departed the International Space Station in a SpaceX capsule on Tuesday morning and splashed down in Florida later that day. Their unexpected extended stay turned into a political spectacle, prompting discussions on the reliability of space travel. Post-return, the astronauts will undergo health checks at NASA's Space Center in Houston.
