SpaceX Dragon capsule sticks splashdown landing as NASA astronauts return home after months stuck in space

Astronauts Barry 'Butch' Wilmore and Suni Williams had been living on the ISS for over 9 months

A pair of NASA astronauts, who were stranded in space for more than nine months, returned to Earth on Tuesday, landing in the Gulf of America off Tallahassee, Florida, bringing an end to an unforeseen odyssey.

Barry "Butch" Wilmore, 62, and Suni Williams, 59, returned home after a new crew replaced them and two other astronauts reached the International Space Station (ISS) over the weekend. 

The four-person Crew-10 carried by a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft early on Sunday met up with the ISS, where Wilmore and Williams had been living since their planned roughly weeklong mission in June 2024 turned into a much longer one. 

"On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home," radioed SpaceX Mission Control in California.

"What a ride," replied NASA astronaut Nick Hague, the capsule’s commander.
