NASA and SpaceX launched Crew-9 mission

NASA and SpaceX launched the Crew-9 mission yesterday, from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, United States with two passengers on board and two empty seats to bring back astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore who have been stranded on the International Space Station for months. The Crew-9 was initially expected to launch on Thursday but was postponed due to poor weather conditions due to hurricane Helene, currently impacting the Gulf Coast of Florida. Williams and Willmore traveled to the ISS on an eight-day sojourn on the faulty Boeing’s Starliner. While the Starliner was declared unfit for human travel by NASA, and it returned safely to Earth, the astronaut duo are stuck in space.
