NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who were stuck in space for more than nine months, are finally on their way back home to Houston. Wilmore and Williams left the International Space Station in a SpaceX capsule early Tuesday with two others and are due to splash down in the evening off the Florida coast, weather permitting.

The two, along with fellow NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, splashed down in the Atlantic off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida, at 3:57 MDT Tuesday. NASA moved the return flight up a day to bring the crew back ahead of an anticipated weather system headed for the Florida coast.
