(New York, NY) – A saga that has been pursuing the country for months are the two American astronauts ready to return to earth at the international space station. Butch Wilmore and Sununi Williams started for the first time nine months ago, but their return trip was delayed after technical problems with their spaceship from Boeing Starliner. The Boeing ship returned to Earth unmanned, while they were waiting for the arrival of a SpaceX capsule. The returning rocket on the ISS was on Saturday evening. The commanding member of the incoming crew had fun by showing up in an alien mask.

The two NASA astronauts will come back with two Russian cosmonauts who have been on the ISS since last September. The splashdown date is expected to be Wednesday, but nothing is set in stone until the weather conditions.
