Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the two NASA astronauts whose one-week stay on the International Space Station grew into a nine-month mission, are now coming home.

Two Nasa astronauts have returned to Earth with a soft splashdown off Florida’s coast after being stuck in space for nine months. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams only expected to be gone for a week when they launched to the International Space Station on Boeing’s new Starliner crew capsule in June.
