Crew-10 launch enables return of stranded ISS astronauts

NASA's Crew-10 mission launched on March 14, 2025, carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission enables the return of two astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stranded since June due to issues with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft. Wilmore and Williams were supposed to stay at the ISS for eight days but have been there for over nine months. Their return will occur after Crew-10 docks with the ISS, allowing preparations for their departure. The situation has drawn political attention, with accusations of abandonment directed at the Biden administration. Despite the controversy, cooperation between the U.S. and Russia in space continues, with astronauts using different spacecraft to reach the ISS.
