SpaceX capsule undocking LIVE: NASA’s stuck astronauts depart International Space Station

Watch live as preparations begin on the International Space Station for the return to Earth of a SpaceX capsule carrying NASA’s two stuck astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, and two other Crew-9 members, NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. A new crew of four — representing the U.S., Japan and Russia — arrived at the space station on Sunday. Wilmore and Williams expected to be gone just a week when they launched on Boeing’s first astronaut flight last June. They hit the nine-month mark earlier this month. The Boeing Starliner capsule encountered so many problems that NASA insisted it come back empty, leaving its test pilots behind to wait for a SpaceX lift. Credit: NASA/SpaceX #spacex #nasa #live
