Sunita Williams & Butch Willmore to Return
The launch date for Crew-10 has been moved from March 25 to March 12. NASA stated that the Crew Dragon capsule, named Endeavor, which has already completed three missions, still requires a flight readiness check before launch.
Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who traveled to the International Space Station on Boeing’s troubled Starliner capsule last summer, will return after the Crew-10 team arrives. This ensures that the American presence on the station remains stable.
Trump’s Unexpected Intervention
Former President Donald Trump recently urged SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to bring the astronauts back “as soon as possible.” However, their return had already been planned last year.
After Trump’s request, NASA confirmed it would bring them back “as soon as practical,” but in a statement on Tuesday, it did not directly link the Crew-10 change to an early return for the Starliner crew.
