NASA Astronauts Stuck in Space Splash Down on Earth

Показать описание
Two NASA astronauts stuck in orbit for nine months finally returned to Earth in a SpaceX craft, capping a saga that captured international attention and marked a setback for Boeing Co.’s space business.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, seated inside a Dragon capsule with two other crew members — NASA’s Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov — fell to Earth under parachutes and splashed down off the Florida coast around 6 p.m. New York time on Tuesday.
“And splashdown, Crew-9 back on Earth!” said Sandra Jones, one of the hosts of the livestream. “On behalf of SpaceX, welcome home.”
The landing was greeted with cheers and applause inside SpaceX’s mission control in Hawthorne, California. Around the time of splashdown, more than a million viewers were tuned into a mission livestream on X.
Shortly after, crews in boats were racing to conduct safety checks at the scorched capsule, which could be seen bobbing in a glassy ocean. Later, it will be hoisted onto a separate recovery vessel and the astronauts will exit for standard medical checks. If all goes well, they will be cleared to fly to Houston to reunite with their families.
