Stranded NASA Astronauts Set to Return to Earth After Prolonged Mission

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have spent nine months aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are finally preparing to return to Earth. After overcoming multiple delays, they are expected to undock from the ISS and make their splashdown in a SpaceX capsule soon. During their extended stay, the astronauts experienced unique challenges, including potential health consequences from the prolonged absence of gravity. The return, which will be covered live by NASA, marks the end of an incredible journey that began when the crew was left stranded due to technical issues with their return capsule. As they pack up and bid farewell to the station, both astronauts reflect on their time in space and what they will miss about it.
