00:00Two NASA astronauts stuck in space returned to Earth on Tuesday, hitching a different
00:05ride home to close out a saga that began with a bungled test flight over nine months ago.
00:11Within an hour, Bart Wilmore and Suni Williams were out of their capsule, waving and smiling
00:16at the cameras, while being hustled away in reclining stretchers for routine medical checks.
00:22They both arrived at the International Space Station, ISS, early June last year and were
00:28prepared to return home no more than 10 days later.
00:31The International Space Station program, the Commercial Crew Program and SpaceX came up
00:36with the plan that we just witnessed.
00:37The Crew-10 launch last week, the docking over the weekend, the undock early today,
00:43and then the landing that we just witnessed.
00:46And splashdown, Crew-9 back on Earth.
00:48Their SpaceX capsule parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico early Tuesday evening, just hours
00:54after departing ISS.
00:57Splashdown occurred off the coast of Tallahassee in the Florida panhandle, bringing their unplanned
01:02odyssey to an end.
