Crew-9 has become increasingly overshadowed by the crewed flight test of Boeing’s Starliner, which reached the space station in June carrying NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams yet returned to Earth empty after NASA weighed the risk. After nearly three months into what was expected to only be a mission lasting a week or two, NASA decided to send Starliner back to Earth without the crew members due to an uncertainty of how failing thrusters would perform.
Wilmore and Williams have been in high spirits however, and now that the Crew-9 roster has since been trimmed to two instead of four, the stranded NASA astronauts will have their tickets for a ride back home when the SpaceX capsule returns to Earth in February 2025.
