NASA officials explained that the return of Crew 9—which includes Sunita Williams, Butch Wilmore, NASA astronaut Nick Hague, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov—is dependent on the successful launch of Crew 10.

SpaceX will bring two NASA astronauts back from the International Space Station this month after a damaged spacecraft extended their eight-day journey into a nine-month commision. SpaceX’s CEO Elon Musk said he believes the two astronauts were stuck in space for political reasons and he could have rescued them sooner.

The NASA astronauts stranded aboard the ISS said they received "no information" about Elon Musk's supposed plans to rescue them sooner.

NASA revealed details of the return of Sunita Williams and other Crew 9 members back to Earth from space. Will it be Sunita Williams' 'final good-bye' to space? Will Elon Musk help in their return?

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams disagrees with Elon Musk's suggestion to deorbit the International Space Station sooner than planned, advocating for its operation until 2030 due to its ongoing scientific contributions.
