NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally returning to Earth after spending nine months on the International Space Station. They were originally part of a short test mission on Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, but technical issues kept them in space longer than planned. A SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule will bring them home. Their journey back begins early Tuesday, with a scheduled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. NASA had to delay their return earlier due to weather concerns. After landing, they will undergo medical checks at NASA’s Johnson Space Center before resuming normal activities.
