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.

Two NASA astronauts stuck in orbit for nine months are finally headed home in a SpaceX craft, capping a saga that captured international attention and marked a setback for Boeing Co.’s space business.
