Stranded Nasa astronauts to finally return to Earth after nine months in space
After nine months in space, stranded Nasa astronauts are coming home
- Nasa astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are set to return to Earth after an extended nine-month stay on the International Space Station.
- They originally expected to stay just a week, but their return was delayed due to technical issues with the Boeing Starliner spacecraft.
- They will now return on a SpaceX Dragon capsule, alongside two other astronauts, later in March.
- The astronauts say their extended stay has been challenging for their families, but they remain committed to their mission.
- Ms Williams says every day at the space station has been “interesting”, because “we’re up in space and it’s a lot of fun”.
