SpaceX launches rescue mission for 2 NASA astronauts who are stuck in space until next year
Saturday, 28 September 2024 () SpaceX has launched a rescue mission for the two stuck astronauts at the International Space Station. A Falcon rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Saturday, sending up a downsized crew and two empty seats. The capsule carrying a NASA astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut will arrive at the space station this weekend. But it won't leave until February. So the two test pilots who flew up on Boeing's troubled Starliner capsule will have to wait until then before returning home, more than eight months after launching on what should have been a weeklong mission.
By the time Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams return to Earth they will have logged more than eight months in space. Their original mission was due to last for a week.
Former astronaut Mike Massimino believes all Americans should exercise their right to vote this November ... especially if his peers stuck in space can pull it off.
