Their suffering, their fate, “disappeared” and their stay in space, from 8 days scheduled, lasted 9 months. The reason is for the 2 astronauts Buch Wilmore and Sunny Williams who finally managed to hit the land on Tuesday (18.03.2025).
It all started in June 2024, when the 2 veteran astronauts participated in the first manned test flight of the Starliner spacecraft. However, the capsule faced several technical problems and so they were trapped in space.
After the 2 astronauts had a holiday, many weekends and especially Christmas in space, the difficult mission for their return was finally set up, which was taken over by Elon Musk’s company SpaceX.
Those who worked for their return, friends, relatives and ordinary citizens from all over the world who cared about the hassle of astronauts, watched the 17 -hour journey covered live on the official page of NASA.
SpaceX’s capsule made a quick reassessment to the atmosphere. The moment when the 4 parachutes (of the two trapped astronauts, by NASA, and Russian Alexander Gorbunov), over the coast of Florida, caused relief.
The boat’s boat, which was already waiting for the astronauts to the point where the “appointment” was given, hastened to retrieve them from the water, while a flock of dolphins approaches the capsule to understand exactly what this mysterious vehicle is.
Their suffering was over officially. The two astronauts with a huge smile on their lips began to greet in all directions, while those who watched the trip began to cheer and cry out of emotion.
Astronauts then went through various tests to confirm their state of health as a person’s stay in space for such a long time can cause serious problems.
Between them swollen eyes, a large exposure to radiation and that it may mean and a lack of consciousness.
“The promise was kept: President Trump pledged to save astronauts who had been trapped in space for nine months. Today, they were safely flew into the Gulf of America, thanks to Elon Musk, SpaceX and NASA, “the White House wrote in X.
