NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore recently said that politics has nothing to do with why he and his crewmate, Suni Williams, are still in space.

Stranded NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will return to Earth after being in space since June 2024 for a mission originally slated for 8 days.

The two astronauts who launched aboard Boeing Starliners first crewed flight test in June are now preparing for their highly anticipated return to Earth.

Two astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station (ISS) since June, 2024 are scheduled to return to Earth next week. Massachusetts native Sunita L. Williams and Butch Wilmore of Tennessee have been stuck on the ISS due to problems with their spacecraft, the Boeing's Starliner.

NASA’s Space-X Crew-10 is scheduled to launch from the Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday night to the International Space Station. After they arrive, their Dragon capsule will serve as a ride home for Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams who have had an extended stay in space for nine months.

NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are expected to return back to Earth after eight months in space. What sounds like a routine part of astronaut life becomes significantly more unusual when you realise that their mission was only actually supposed to span the course of eight days.
