Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmocher, who reached space during the test flight of Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, have returned to earth along with two other passengers. They went into space for 8 days and had to stop at the International Space Station for a long time due to technical problems in the spacecraft.

These senior astronauts landed in the ocean near Tallahassee, Florida, along with fellow NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian astronaut Alexander Gorbunov. They arrived on Earth at 5:57 pm on Tuesday (4:42 am on Wednesday according to Nepali time), according to NASA . The moment they landed on Earth and came out of the spacecraft was broadcast live by NASA .

Sunita and Butch's unexpected long stay in space sparked interest in people around the world . Concern was expressed about their health in particular. According to NASA, they returned home safely through the SpaceX Dragon capsule.

Butch and Sunita waved and smiled as they stepped out of the SpaceX Dragon, according to BBC's live reporting . As their spacecraft landed in Florida's ocean, it was surrounded by eager dolphins.

Along with their arrival, NASA and SpaceX also held a press conference. Astronauts did not attend the conference. According to NASA, it will take some time for them to get used to Earth's gravity again. Before meeting the family, their health will be checked .
