SpaceX launched a mission on Saturday to bring home two astronauts, Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore stranded aboard the International Space Station (ISS) after Boeing’s spacecraft failed to return them earlier this month due to safety concerns. The latest SpaceX Crew 9 mission is carrying two astronauts instead of four to bring both stranded members of NASA back to Earth.

High Definition, sans Space/Ground audio:
 
The comments below are gold. "Just because they don't feel abandoned, that does not mean that they aren't abandoned." After people did an interview with them, have a purpose on the station and a proper return is organized and scheduled.
