Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore should be able to sleep in their own beds tonight. Or at least in beds on this planet. That’s more than the two astronauts have been able to say in the last nine months, since their return after a supposed ten-day stay aboard the International Space Station (ISS) was delayed due to thruster problems on the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that was intended to bring them home. A four-person crew entered the ISS early Sunday morning as part of a mission to relieve Williams and Wilmore. The crew was greeted with smiles and hugs by the seven astronauts aboard the space station, none more than the two stranded Americans.
Their SpaceX spacecraft undocked from the ISS at 1:05 a.m. ET this morning, transporting Wilmore and Williams alongside two other astronauts. Their journey back to Earth will take seventeen hours, with splashdown planned for 5:57 p.m. ET. More Here

With all the negativity surrounding Elon Musk, it’s worth noting that SpaceX, according to Musk’s social media posting yesterday, is now lifting 90% of flights to and from the ISS. I watched a video of the two astronauts thanking Musk and President Trump by name for bringing them home. These two astronauts could have complained and, perhaps, even justifiably, made it difficult for NASA, but they are true professionals. May God bless them richly and bring them, and the others, home safely!
