Hindustan Times  

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who have been stranded on the International Space Station since last September, may return to Earth earlier than expected aboard the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft.

Return preponed NASA test pilots Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams were originally set to return in June aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule after what was meant to be a weeklong flight demonstration.
