NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) since June 2024, reassured the public in a recent update. Their eight-day Boeing Starliner test mission turned into a months-long stay after the capsule suffered technical issues and returned empty. "We came prepared to stay long, even though we planned to stay short," Wilmore said, emphasizing the unpredictability of human spaceflight. NASA now plans to bring them back on a SpaceX Crew Dragon, with the return scheduled for no earlier than March 12. The astronauts remain in good spirits while awaiting their journey home.
