NASA astronaut Sunita Williams, 62, and Butch Wilmore, 59, have begun their long-awaited return to Earth after being stranded on the ISS for over nine months. Their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocked at 10:35 am IST and is set to splash down near Florida on Wednesday. The astronauts originally flew to space for an eight-day mission on Boeing’s Starliner, but technical failures left them stuck. Their delayed return triggered political debate, with Donald Trump accusing the Biden administration of neglecting them. NASA reassured that Williams and Wilmore are in good health despite concerns over extended space travel effects.
