Livestream: Crew 10 Returns
After spending more than 9 months at the International Space Station after their Boeing Starliner developed issues, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore are on their way back to Earth. The trip is not in a Starliner however, but aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule named Crew 10.
It has been alleged that the length of the stay was influenced by politics. Joe Biden supposedly did not want to give SpaceX and Elon Musk a win in the run up to the election.
Crew 10 undocked from the orbiting outpost at 1.05am ET with Wilmore, Williams, NASA Astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. Splashdown off the Florida coast near Tallahassee is estimated to be just before 1800 EDT.
