Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams will finally return to Earth after nine months 'stuck' in space. The NASA astronauts are awaiting rescue by SpaceX.

Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will board a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule after problems with a Boeing vehicle set in motion a nine-month stay on the International Space Station.

NASA moved up the return flight for two stranded astronauts to beat an upcoming storm. Boeing Starliner problems extended a one-week mission into nine months in space. An earlier flight back to Earth would have left the International Space Station understaffed.

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams are preparing to leave the International Space Station and return home after their ten day mission turned into a nine month stay. The NASA astronauts are now one step closer to coming home and ending their long mission after their replacement crew arrived.
