Celebrating two stranded American hero Astronauts – Suni Williams & Butch Wilmore and their return home! The two astronauts have now been on the ISS for over 260 days. They’re currently scheduled to return to Earth on a SpaceX spacecraft on Friday, 14 March, but by that time, they will have spent more than nine months in space!
‘SpaceX could have brought them back several months ago. I OFFERED THIS DIRECTLY to the Biden administration and they refused. Return WAS pushed back for political reasons.’
Elon Musk
After a two-day handover period, NASA and SpaceX will prepare to return Williams and Wilmore, along with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, aboard the Freedom capsule, “pending weather conditions at the splashdown sites off the coast of Florida.”
