Overview
NASA plans to expedite the return of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams from the ISS by swapping the spacecraft for their upcoming Crew-10 mission. Initially expected to return in late March, the astronauts will now be home by mid-March due to the usage of a previously flown SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. This decision comes after prolonged delays linked to Boeing's Starliner issues and political pressures surrounding the mission. Crew-10, which includes NASA and international astronauts, will launch on March 12 before facilitating the return of Wilmore and Williams along with two others.
