Nine months after they departed on the Boeing Starliner, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have finally landed back on Earth on a SpaceX Dragon capsule.
Astronaut Nick Hague and cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov were also in the capsule.
Wilmore and Williams’ homecoming caps an end to a drawn-out mission which was marred by technical difficulties and recent months turned into a political flashpoint, with Donald Trump blaming the Biden administration for “abandoning” the astronauts.
