NASA astronauts set off for Earth in SpaceX capsule after being stuck for nine months | ITV News

Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams bid farewell to the International Space Station — their home since last spring — departing aboard a SpaceX capsule alongside two other astronauts.

The capsule undocked in the early hours of Tuesday and aimed for a splashdown off the Florida coast by early evening, weather permitting.
