00:00
Two NASA astronauts who have been stuck on the International Space Station for nine months
00:06
are finally on their way back to Earth.
00:09
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams left the ISS early on Tuesday morning aboard a SpaceX capsule.
00:16
Weather permitting, they're expected to splash down off the Florida coast by early evening
00:20
local time.
00:22
The pair thought they'd be in space for around a week after launching on Boeing's new Starliner
00:26
crew capsule on the 5th of June.
00:29
But a raft of technical problems meant that NASA eventually sent the Starliner back empty
00:34
and transferred the test pilots to SpaceX, pushing their homecoming into February.
00:39
Then SpaceX capsule issues added another month's delay.
00:43
Sunday's arrival of the relief crew meant Wilmore and Williams could finally leave.
00:48
Their plight captured the world's attention and while other astronauts have logged longer
00:52
stays in space, none saw the length of their mission expand by so much.
00:57
Both retired Navy captains, Wilmore and Williams, stressed they didn't mind spending more time
01:02
in space but acknowledged it was tough on their families.
