SpaceX Dragon Crew-10 members greet International Space Station crew members including NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore (L) and Suni Williams (3R) on March 16, 2025 AFP After more than nine months aboard the International Space Station, a pair of astronauts are finally set to depart for Earth early Tuesday, ending a prolonged mission that has captivated global attention. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams flew to the orbital lab in June last year, on what was supposed to be a days-long roundtrip to test out Boeing's Starliner on its first crewed flight. But the spaceship developed propulsion problems and was deemed unfit to fly them back, instead returning empty without more major problems.
