Starliner astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally home after 9 months in space
NASA’s astronauts who were in space returned for more than nine months, while it was supposed to be a journey that lasts for eight days at home.
Sony Williams and Boot Wilmor – Which was on board the International Space Station since June last year, awaiting a return trip to the Earth – it was canceled from the space station in the Spacex capsule with other astronauts after one o’clock on Tuesday morning and sprayed off the coast of Florida shortly before 6 pm East time.
On Sunday, Williams and Wilmmore welcomed the SPACEX Crew-10 mission with four new astronauts-NASA Ann Makkalin, Nicole Aires, and Jacco (Space Explorement Agency in Japan), space comfort, Takoya Ounishi and Roscosmos, who are, who prepared them.
Last week, Spacex Crew-10 launch From the Kennedy Space Center in Florida due to a hydraulic problem with “A Ground Support Clamp Ar” on the Falcon 9 missile. But Crew-10 finally removed Friday night, and was anchor in ISS on Sunday.

Last June, Williams and Wilmmore from Cape Capeeral, Florida, launched a new Starlener from Boeing, as it was supposed to be an eight -day test task. But helium leaks and failure failure have almost resulted from their arrival at ISS and kept them in the orbits laboratory since then.
In August, NASA announced that the problems with Starlener were more serious than the first thought and that Williams and Wilmmore will instead return to Earth with a Spacex Crew-9 capsule in February, instead of waiting for stars tests on Starlener.
In December, NASA Declare This Spacex needs more time to complete the capsule you will need to launch the Crew-10, which will need to reach the regular NASA protocols, before leaving Crew-9 space station.
“NASA’s CREW-10, NASA, is now not targeting in late March 2025 to launch four crew members to the International Space Station,” said the space agency at that time.
In January, after assuming his post, President Trump said he had SPACEX Elon Musk “Go Got” request for NASA astronauts With the blame for the previous administration of delay.

Although their residence on the space station was unexpectedly extended, Willmore and Williams, like all NASA astronauts, have been trained on a long mission. They have repeatedly said that they do not feel “upset” in space.
At a press conference earlier this month, Wilmour said that Politics was not a worker In delaying their return to Earth.
“In my view, politics does not play this at all,” Wilmor said. “We have reached a willingness to stay for a long time, although we planned to stay short. This is what we do on the human space journey. This is what the human space journey program is around your nation, and planning unknown and unexpected emergency situations. We did it.”
But each of the astronauts said that they are keen to reunite their families.
“It was the rotating ship for them, and perhaps a little more than us,” Williams said. “We are here. We have a task. We just do what we do every day, and every day is interesting, because we are in space and it is very fun.”
