Sunita Williams Spacex Crew-9 Return Updates: Smiles, thumbs ups and a safe return for NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore

The Hindu  

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams returned to Earth on Tuesday, hitching a different ride home to close out a saga that began with a bungled test flight more than nine months ago. The duo have been on the ISS since June after the Boeing Starliner spacecraft they were testing on its maiden crewed voyage suffered propulsion issues and was deemed unfit to fly them back to Earth. Mr. Wilmore and Ms. Williams ended up spending 286 days in space — 278 days longer than anticipated when they launched. They circled Earth 4,576 times and traveled 121 million miles by the time of splashdown.
