Astronauts Butch and Suni exit SpaceX capsule at recovery vessel
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams exited the SpaceX capsule aboard the recovery vessel after their return to Earth on Tuesday, March 18.
The crew's capsule was hoisted out of the water onto a boat. The astronauts will be flown on a NASA plane to their crew quarters at the space agency's Johnson Space Center in Houston for several days of health checks, per routine for astronaut returns, before NASA flight surgeons say they can go home to their families.
Their return caps a protracted space mission that was fraught with uncertainty and technical troubles and turned a rare instance of NASA's contingency planning — and the latest failures of Starliner — into a global spectacle.
