Having spent an incredible nine months in space, stranded astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams were finally brought back to Earth on Tuesday (March 18).
Having initially made their way to the International Space Station (ISS) in June of 2024, the pair were supposed to complete their mission and make a return journey to Earth after just eight days.
A string of complications, however, forced those plans to change. All told, Wilmore and Williams have been stuck on the ISS for nine months.
When the pair were finally rescued, being ferried back to their home planet aboard the Space X Dragon spacecraft, they were whisked away on stretchers before they could take a first step on land.
