After nearly eight months on the International Space Station (ISS), four astronauts—three Americans and one Russian—returned to Earth on Friday. The SpaceX capsule carrying the crew landed safely in the Gulf of Mexico near Florida. Originally scheduled to return two months ago, the mission faced delays due to Boeing's Starliner capsule issues and Hurricane Milton. NASA’s Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, along with Russia's Alexander Grebenkin, finally undocked mid-week. Their replacements include Starliner test pilots Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, along with two others, ensuring the ISS returns to its regular crew of seven.
