Nine Months Stranded: Space Rescue Mission a Success

After nine months stranded on the International Space Station due to malfunctioning spacecraft, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams were finally rescued. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched a Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying four astronauts, paving the way for the stranded duo's return. The rescue mission was fraught with challenges, including helium leaks, thruster failures, and battery repairs, even involving political elements. The astronauts will return to Earth after a crew handover, concluding an unexpectedly long mission that set a new record for female spacewalking time and highlighted the complexities of space exploration.
