NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally returning to Earth after spending 9 months aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Their journey, originally planned for 8 days, was extended due to propulsion issues with Boeing’s Starliner capsule. They undocked from the ISS at 1:05 AM ET, beginning a 17-hour journey home. Williams’ ancestral village in India is preparing Diwali-like celebrations to welcome her back. NASA confirmed the successful launch of their return mission, marking the end of an extended yet historic stay in space.
