NASA Astronauts Sunita Williams And Butch Willmore Head Back To Earth On SpaceX Dragon Capsule

After several delays, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams have finally begun their journey back to Earth in a SpaceX capsule after an extended stay on the International Space Station (ISS). The astronauts departed early Tuesday morning, concluding a mission that extended far beyond its original timeline—the duo, along with two other astronauts, undocked from the ISS at 1:05 a.m. ET, beginning a 17-hour trip to Earth.
