A SpaceX craft carrying Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams left the International Space Station early Tuesday morning.

NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams departed the International Space Station early on Tuesday morning in a SpaceX capsule for a long-awaited trip back to Earth, nine months after their faulty Boeing Starliner craft upended what was to be a roughly week-long test mission.

After an nine-month stay that was only supposed to last eight days, NASA Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have finally left the ISS and are on their way home.
