SpaceX Launches Mission to Rescue Stranded Astronauts After 9 Months in Space

NASA and SpaceX are counting down to a long-awaited launch to bring home astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stranded on the International Space Station for nine months. Originally set for Wednesday, the Crew-10 mission was delayed due to ground system issues. Now, the Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch from Kennedy Space Center at 7:03 p.m. ET on Friday. This critical mission will allow Wilmore and Williams to finally return after their Boeing Starliner spacecraft was deemed too risky for the journey home. Watch the live launch now!
