The pair of NASA astronauts who have been in space for over nine months returned to Earth on Tuesday after a new crew to replace them reached the ISS over the weekend.

Stranded NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore finally arrived home yesterday after more than nine months in space. When they touched down in Florida, neither was able to physically step off the SpaceX Dragon capsule, and were instead carried out and placed on stretchers.

Because of faults with Boeing’s Starliner, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore had to wait months for a ride back to Earth on a different spacecraft.
