NASA’s 2 stuck astronauts may return to Earth sooner under new plan

Associated Press  

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — NASA’s two stuck astronauts may end up back on Earth a little sooner than planned. The space agency announced Tuesday that SpaceX will switch capsules for upcoming astronaut flights in order to bring Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home in mid-March instead of late March or April. With even more work still anticipated for the new capsule, NASA opted for its next crew to fly up on an older capsule, with liftoff now targeted for March 12. NASA prefers having a new crew arrive before sending the old one back, in this case Wilmore, Williams and two others up there since September.
