After Elon Musk said SpaceX would rescue the “stranded” Starliner astronauts, NASA moved their return date up by two weeks — a slight adjustment to a plan that had already been in place for months.

NASA on Tuesday swapped out the astronaut capsule it plans to use for an upcoming routine flight to the International Space Station, a scheduling move that will allow a slightly earlier return for two Starliner astronauts who have been on the station far longer than expected.

The Falcon 9 launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base and was captured on camera by residents along the west coast of North America.

Residents of Las Vegas and the surrounding areas spotted a large white streak in the evening sky that prompted speculation online but turned out to be a SpaceX rocket.
