NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore are finally returning to Earth after over nine months in space. Their mission, initially a short test flight aboard Boeing’s Starliner, was extended due to propulsion issues, forcing them to stay on the ISS. The duo undocked from the ISS aboard SpaceX’s Dragon capsule and is set to splash down off Florida’s coast at 3:27 AM IST on Wednesday. NASA confirmed their return journey, highlighting the technical challenges faced. Williams' homecoming is closely watched, marking the end of an extended mission that tested human endurance and spacecraft reliability.
