Splashdown! Dragon Returns With Stranded Astronauts, Landing in Gulf of America

This return has been months in the making. As our Bob Hoge explained earlier on Tuesday, astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have spent nine months in space, essentially stranded aboard the International Space Station, awaiting their chance to come home. What was supposed to be a 10-day jaunt has now dragged on for months after the Boeing Starliner that was originally set to bring them back experienced thruster issues that necessitated scrapping the initial plan.

Now, Williams and Wilmore are back on terra firma (more or less — off the coast of Florida, at least) compliments of Elon Musk's SpaceX. After undocking from the ISS early Tuesday morning, the Dragon spacecraft, with four Crew 9 members aboard (including Williams and Wilmore, as well as Commander Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov), began its journey back, with an expected return time of 5:57 p.m. Eastern.

#Crew9 will be difficult to spot in the daytime as it reenters Earth's atmosphere, but if you want to keep an eye out for @SpaceX's Dragon as it heads home today, we have the map for you. pic.twitter.com/dGmSWXbOyv
