NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore, initially slated for an eight-day mission in June 2024, have been on the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months due to technical issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. Their return has been further delayed, with NASA confirming they won't be back on Earth before March 19, 2025. The delay stems from a postponed launch of SpaceX's Crew-10 mission, which was rescheduled to March 14 due to high winds and a hydraulic system issue on the Falcon 9 rocket. Once Crew-10 arrives and takes over ISS operations, Williams and Wilmore are expected to return, highlighting challenges in current space missions.
