NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams set out for a weeklong mission at the International Space Station last year. After nine months, they are coming home.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s two stuck astronauts headed back to Earth with SpaceX on Tuesday to close out a dramatic marathon mission that began with a bungled Boeing test flight more than nine months ago.

After an nine-month stay that was only supposed to last eight days, NASA Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have finally left the ISS and are on their way home.
