Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore embark on their homecoming journey to earth

What an exciting moment for space exploration! NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, along with two fellow astronauts, have embarked on their much-anticipated journey back to Earth after an extraordinary nine-month stay aboard the International Space Station. The crew made their exit in style, boarding the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and undocking from the station at 1:05 a.m. Easter Time Zone (0505 GMT) on Tuesday, March 18. The atmosphere was full of excitement and anticipation as they began their 17-hour trek back to Earth, leaving behind the incredible views and experiences they`ve had in orbit. This marks the end of a mission that had been delayed due to a previous setback with a faulty Boeing Starliner craft, which had put a hold on their return. But now, with everything back on track, the Crew-9 astronauts are looking forward to a smooth and joyful splashdown off the coast of Florida later in the day. It`s been a long-awaited homecoming, and the astronauts, who are seasoned veterans of space exploration and retired U.S. Navy test pilots, couldn`t be more thrilled to wrap up this exciting chapter of their careers. After an eventful and successful mission, they’ll soon be reunited with their families and friends, ready to share their stories of space and adventure!... [Read More]

Here's a timeline of Sunita Williams & Barry Wilmore’s 9-month space saga

After months of floating among the stars, NASA astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore are finally heading home. Their return to Earth is just days away, but their incredible journey began nearly nine months ago.

However, a series of delays and unforeseen challenges kept them in orbit far longer than anyone expected. What was meant to be a quick trip became a nine-month stay on the ISS, turning their journey into one for the history books.
