Officials with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that two astronauts who traveled to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard Boeing's Starliner early this summer will return home by February 2025 during a Saturday press conference.
Astronauts Sunita "Suni" Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore, who have spent the entire summer in space, were initially scheduled to return to Earth around June 14. However, their mission faced a critical setback when the capsule developed leaks and some of its thrusters malfunctioned. As ground teams work to identify the cause of these issues, their homecoming has been repeatedly delayed.

Looking forward to seeing Astronauts Suni and Butch safely back on Earth in February 2025 after their extended stay on the ISS. Wishing them a smooth journey home! 🚀🌎
